Thanks for the replies.

If I use a stain or possibly a combination of terps, varnish and an aniline dye to enhance the cedar hull, let it dry and cure out, can I still apply CPES?

Steve

I am still a ways from the finish work on my cedar strip boat but I have been thinking about when I will have to varnishing the interior. I like the darker aged look as opposed to the new(er) stripped and re-varnished look. I wanted to find a way to really make the cedar stand out and was thinking o...

Thanks for the tips John.

I am going for the 2 qt kit. I am sure I will use it on other things if I have some left over..

Thanks again

Thanks for the reply. I think I will start with the 2 pint kit and see how far I get.

Thanks again.

Steve

Thanks Andreas.

I have heard this is the product to use. Are there any other options to consider?

Thanks again.

Steve

Can anyone tell me how much CPES I will need to treat the 12' cedar strip boat I have? It is available in 2 pint kits as well as 2 quart kits and 2 gallon.

I am going to do both the inside and outside and likely the deck and transom.

I am not familiar with how far this stuff will go.

Thanks

Steve

Thanks Brad I did not replace them. They had some small bad spots you can't really see that I was able to remove and replace with epoxy filler. I thought about replacing them if they could not be repaired. If I did I would probably use the old ones as forms and steam and glue up strips and shape it ...

Thanks Phill

I'm looking forward to getting going on the transom.

Steve

Thanks Andreas That is a picture of a 240 I found for sale. When I first saw the picture I noticed the trim around the outside edge of the transom. I had seen the same detail on a Tomahawk and wondered if this was typical to these types of boats. I found out, (I think from you) this is used on canva...

Karl

Thanks!

It has been a lot of fun so far. Starting to move along pretty good. I will put up some photos when I complete the transom.

Steve

Well I steam bent and installed the remainder of the frames for my cedar strip runabout. I replaced 80% of them and will start rebuilding the transom. I have some 40 year old Honduran Mahogany will be using. Here is a link to a photo of the completed frames: http://www.flickr.com/photos/66652366@N02...

Phill

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the late response.

Steve

I have all the short frames replaced and will be replacing the long frames in my cedar strip runabout. I came across some nice quarter sawn white oak sawn about 9 months ago. The issue is the size and the best way to utilize the wood. It is not quite 5/4 x 8" wide. To keep waste down as much as...

Andreas

Thanks for posting. Very nice.

Steve

Hi Andreas

I saw in an older post on Wooden Boat Forum you had displayed a 14" twin cockpit runabout.

I have seen pictures of your other boats.

Would you have some of this boat you could share?

Thanks

Steve
