Welcome to the new Bear Mountain Builders Forum - an interactive internet service we provide to encourage communication between canoe and kayak builders
My wife came up with a great idea. Not sure where I was going to buy my red cedar for my Freedom 17/9 and planning on residing our house, my wife suggested that I rip the existing red ceder clap board from our house into strips. I can get about 6 or7 strips out of a board and the longest is about 15ft.
So, if you tell us where you live and play the part of Tom Sawyer, you could have your house clap board removed from your house free of charge! I am not sure that I will help you replace it (on the house) with whatever you have chosen...
