Still sketching plans for a strip-built pirogue, have a few questions about construction....
What are the dimensions of the strips used in this method? I realize length would be determinate on the positioning of the strip on the craft, but what are the optimum width and thickness dimensions? Are these dimensions a factor of the material used (cypress, white pine, yellow pine, oak etc.) and the amount of curvature to be covered or is there a standard working dimension?
I've got a few ideas I'm kicking around, I'm sure I'll have other questions. I'd appreciate any help I can get from guys that have already used this construction method.
Thanks,
Gary
