The stripper's art...

So, stripping the canoe is coming along. As you can tell, I had a few different color boards to use and I'm not sure I put them on in the best order. It's a little muddled near the top of the canoe (which would be the bottom in this picture, since I'm building upside down). Oh well, the point is it's a canoe. The light strips at the bottom will make a bit of a water line and will be nice to look at from the inside, since the outside below the waterline will be covered in a black epoxy/graphite mixture to give it rock hard abrasion resistance).

I was going to mention something else here, but I forgot what it was. If I remember later, I'll edit this post.
