When
building a woodstrip kayak you
will be investing approximately 200 hours (or more) of your time.
Because this is a large commitment, we feel that you should be able to
choose the colors and/or species of wood that will be used in the
various components of the boat.
With a Redfish Kit you will be able to choose from the following woods
with which to
build the coaming wall, the coaming lip, and the outside stems (this
is the keel area at the bow and stern of the kayak):
"Honduran
Mahogany" - a medium brown/orange wood with a very rich
finished appearance
"Walnut" - a dark brown to chocolate colored wood
"Alaskan Yellow Cedar" -
light blond wood that contrast very
nicely with the darker tones
|
You
will also receive full length strips for
the hull and deck - this means you will not be required to butt join
shorter pieces together:
-
"Approximately
80%" of your strips will consist of Western Red Cedar
in medium tones ranging in color from blonde to gold to dark
honey.
"Approximately 10%" of
your strips will be of
Alaskan Yellow Cedar for adding very light colored
accents to your kayak
"Approximately 10%" of
your strips will be made up of a darker toned Western
Red Cedar so as to allow you to introduce even more contrast
to your kayak. |

Note that you may also change the above mix percentages by special order
for very little, if any, additional charge.
