: Thanks Bill,
: Sorry, I should have mentioned Rob Macks first. I did use his
: instructional manual for building the bow and stern.
: I used the Fire Star manual and it took several attempts with the
: stern. When I followed the manual and Rob's methods exact that
: is when it came out right.
: Rob is a true artist when it comes to strip built baidarkas. Thank
: you Rob, your technique for stripping works great.
: I just joined the deck and hull so the epoxy is sanded just below
: the shear area. I hope for better pictures very soon.

Hi Clayton,

Looks nice, also looks like you've done an exceptional job of fitting the strips on the bow, tricky work there getting the curves to all match up perfectly :)
