At this point, I’m about ready to install the whiskey strip. It’s the final strip in the hull and it’s a difficult little maneuver to get the final strip to fit. By tradition, boat builders earn a sip of whiskey when they finish this step in the process, so I’m told. If you feel like you’re joining me mid process, that’s because you are. I was waiting to see how this kayak would turn out before I started this blog and let adventurous water-loving people know I’m open for commissions. A couple more posts and you’ll be up-to-date. Could I have used a photo editor to remove the lawn mower from the background? Sure. But it’s there to remind me to mow the lawn after I figure out how to fit this whiskey strip in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68bf74606920c4471ba6c07c/1b938723-d2fe-40ac-bae0-689012894abf/Coaming.jpg Kerf & Scarph - Welcome to Kerf and Scarph. - Make it stand out Building the cockpit for a hand-built cedar strip kayak. https://www.purdyfinecraft.com/launch daily 1.0 2026-01-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68bf74606920c4471ba6c07c/af87196b-975b-4b30-87cb-f62ea3a5f256/01+Kayak+Deck.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68bf74606920c4471ba6c07c/796c9f9f-64c1-4386-ac8e-19359e04043a/01+Lloyd+in+Shop.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68bf74606920c4471ba6c07c/92a087bb-4c9c-487d-b808-009dd699d195/DSC_0011.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68bf74606920c4471ba6c07c/526dc993-17df-4870-9af6-fd3059db5ae1/DSC_0017.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68bf74606920c4471ba6c07c/2d5092b6-8a2c-4c41-9b17-d0d62ab52eff/DSC_0005.jpeg https://www.purdyfinecraft.com/faqs daily 0.75 2025-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68bf74606920c4471ba6c07c/809073c3-349e-44ef-b0d3-5a7e6dd8cbf6/IMG_4658.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68bf74606920c4471ba6c07c/1dc73086-6ec5-4d6b-932f-050c4ff2c3d2/IMG_1205.jpg https://www.purdyfinecraft.com/productionphotos daily 0.75 2025-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68bf74606920c4471ba6c07c/c6587601-2fb6-4f9e-b67b-c0b027879216/01+Georgiana+in+Shop.jpg https://www.purdyfinecraft.com/productionphotos/project-one-ephnc-7r9wr monthly 0.5 2025-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68bf74606920c4471ba6c07c/ba43e943-f4f2-42d2-a441-1e441d8e555c/01b+Kayak+Strips+.jpg Production Photos - Project Launch.
