Well it has been a busy spring and very little time has been put on the kayak. This is a great time to be out on the water paddling but ... I just did not get started early enough in the winter to be done. I have finally got some work on the hull done so I am posting a few pictures of my progress. I used a darker wood along the keel and also to outline the centerportion of the hull. I finally finished the bottom center part of the hull and now I am working my way up (or down depending how you look at it) the sides. The contrasing color of the wood looks good.
