Cool. Thank you. I don't have many white cedar strips to make or use so that helps.
This project has been on my woodworking list for 29 years. I always said I'd do it next year... now it's in progress and I'm having a ball.

My first build and I am using redwood 1 x 6s. I have one white cedar 1x6 for a contrasting stripe. I will need to joint the white cedar as it is not long enough to make the canoe length. Do you recommend jointing the 1x6 before cutting the 1/4" planks or wait till the plank is cut then joint?

whow that's a great idea.

thanks

Thanx for the response. I have a set i purchased last year.
Wanted to be sure i have the right sized set.
I got them from mlcs. Worked with them once need to again as they werent easy to set up on my home made router table

I presume you have sold the bits by now, but I wanted to know what bits are recommended?

I would love to see the video, but it won't let me, is there a way I can see it now?
Also, I have tried to make the cove and bead finding it hard to leave a shoulder on the cove. I read somewhere here in the site that if the cove is too thin at the edge it could be damaged easily.
thanks,
