: I think it's easier when you do it on a SOF coaming, because you're
: only bending the wood in one plane, and then the whole coaming
: bends when you sew the skin to it. On a strip or other kayak,
: you have to make your wood bend in two planes, and it just
: doesn't want to do that.

It's definitely more difficult, but if you're working with 1/4" square, steamed stock, you'd be surprised how easy it bends.
