NANOOK Wooden Strips Kit
The kit of strips contains all the wooden strips you need to build our NANOOK kayak:
2 gunwales, 3 stringers and 2 deckstringers.
Since each board is individual, our product pictures do not show the exact strips that will be delivered.
Wood quality
The strips are made of carefully selected and high quality Red Cedar wood, which is very light, easy to work with and extremely resistant to rotting. The wood is simply the optimum for this application and is popular with skin-on-frame but also stripbuilders.
The strips have rectangular cross-sections, so the edges need to be rounded before installation.
Tapered or in one piece?
Since shipping is difficult for such long strips, I offer the following options:
Option 1: Tapered & Shipped
I am shipping the strips tapered, these have to be glued for the construction of the NANOOK, which is described in detail in the building instructions of the kayak.
Option 2: Full length & self pickup
If you prefer to pick up the full length strips, select self-pickup in the ordering process and leave me a short message. The strips can be transported with a roof rack.
Wood quality
The strips are made from selected, high-quality red cedar wood, which is very light, easy to work with and extremely resistant to rot. The wood is simply the optimum for this application and is often used by skin-on-frame and strip canoe builders.
The strips have square cross-sections, so the edges should be broken or rounded before installation.
delivery options
Shipment:
The strips are shipped tapered and must be glued back together by the customer to form long strips. This is described in detail in the assembly instructions.
Self-collection:
If you want to pick up the strips yourself, you can take them with you in their full length and save yourself the work of glueing the tapers. To do this, select the "Pick up yourself" option in the shopping cart! (Unfortunately, the "Standard shipping" option cannot be deactivated here)
