Do I smell a 1st of April post? In their photos the alignment is horrible. Their photoshop people need a little more practice. It's their annual April tool line. I really like the full round spoke shave they introduced last spring. http://pawistik.blogspot.com/2008/04/cool-new-tool.html I''m just a...

Hi, I'll offer my 2 cents as a relatively novice builder. If it's a kayak you prefer, build the kayak.

I had a few full length strips in my kayak, but there were a lot that were less than full length. I did scarf together a few (I used an 8:1 ratio, I think) ahead of time for the curved portions, but most were simply butt joints done in place.

By the way, going through my blog I found a bit more about my bubble experiences inside the hull. ...in the hull I also had bubbles forming from air coming out of the wood itself. I had heated the shop to 20C overnight and things were a nice steady temperature by the morning and the heat was turned ...
