: I'd like to see a pic of the whole yak. How did you like working
: with the Paulowina? I just built a surfboard with balsa. Wish I
: had some Paulowina to work with but can't get it on this island.
: I actually flew the balsa in so maybe I'll try to find some
: Paulowina that someone is willing to ship for the next board.

: Post a weight when you are done. It will be interesting to see how
: light it is.

The paulownia was great to work with. Bent ok with some fiddling for the first couple strips at the bow. I decided to use one cheater strip at the bow to make the rest of the job easier. I am trying for lightness is why I am doing the whole kayak in paulownia. Thus the stain due to it being all light colored. I am new to this and hope I don't make it to heavy with extra epoxy.
