Stitch & Glue Kayak | New Concept Model

I challenged myself to design a wooden kayak. This is a ’proof’ model for my custom stitch & glue kayak so that I could test the geometry and think through the fabrication. I have always felt drawn to cedar strip canoes and kayaks but they tend to be a bit busy visually and can be fairly complicated to get right. Stitch and glue kayaks, on the other hand, can look too simplistic, but they fairly straightforward to build. I hoped to balance the ease of fabrication with the beauty of cedar strip construction. Materials Used: Cherry and Mahogany veneer are from my local Rockler Woodworking store. The Laser Cutter is from Trotech Laser, Coping saw: Pegas Spiral Saw Blade: Exacto #11 blades: Exacto Holder: Fiskars Cutting Mat: Thin CA Glue: Medium CA glue: I
