: Thanks for the response. I'm building a kayak for my wife using the Tom Yost
: method for SOF. Next will be one built using bamboo ribs. I'm also on the
: East Coast and I think that Plyboo is offering a bamboo plywood that is
: being distributed on the East Coast in various building supply chains. Not
: as green as using bamboo from the garden, but it may be more efficient to
: re-cut the plywood than gluing or planing it stick by stick...

If you want low enviormental impact, I think I'd look at cotton duck as a cover for that Yost kayak. Vinyl coated polyester I doubt is much more enviourmentally friendly that fiberglass or poly.
