I've had several people look closely (very closely) at my Rice Lake (with a red painted bottom) and ask how I mated the ceder strip top to the fiberglass bottom!!! The reality is that, with some care, the painted surface transitions so nicely, most people really can't tell. And the marine paints ove...

The Port Orford I used was clear and colored a light tan. It was significantly harder and more impact resistant than WRC, but very easy to work. The accent stripe is Port orford between two strips of mahogany. The gunnel has Port Orford sandwiching a strip of mahogany, the deck is cherry with the Po...

Lot's of Redbird builders on this BBS...I think its a very classic look and everyone that has built one likes to paddle it. I personally have the Bob's Special. My wife and I like it to just knock around. Good stability, a bit shorter and lighter than the 17 ft Redbird, a little easier to build, etc...
