Kayakcraft: Fine Woodstrip Kayak Construction Review: Kayakcraft: Fine Woodstrip Kayak Construction - This book is a must in any kayak builder's library. Very well written with clear comments on each stage of kayak construction, supplemented with excellent photographs. In addition, one can find in this book a detailed instruction on the stapleless kayak construction method and a miriad of practical tips on, among others, strongback assembly, sanding techniques, decorative methods of stripping and so on. A wealth of author's experiences talk through the pages. There is one feature of this book that makes it different from other books on kayak construction. The method of construction described allows one to build a kayak completely in two parts (hull and deck, inside and outside) and join them as the very last step by a simple glueing method. I built my first kayak using a different method and ended up with a pain in the neck and lower back supplemented by contortionist's skills while trying to finish the work inside the joined deck and hull. While there is no book that tells everything on kayak construction this one comes close as an excellent reference for a novice and experienced builders alike. As a suplementary reading, I would strongly recomment another book by Ted Moores "Canoecraft" with its excellent coverage of wood stripping and, in particular,fiberglassing techniques. Review: Great book - This book has everything you need to know about building a strip kayak from materials, setting up your shop, recommendations on wood and supplies and even includes the information to draw up the plans yourself for several different kayaks - it's not as hard as it looks. It has answered all my questions so far and has got me hooked - the strips cut for my first kayak and I'm just waiting for the router bit to come so I can cut the bead and cove edges before putting it all together. It also has great step by step instructions for every step of the way - from building the form the boat is built on to joining the cedar strips. I can't wait to get started! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,104,075 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #921 in Ships (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (125) | | Dimensions | 8.75 x 0.5 x 11.25 inches | | Edition | First American Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0937822566 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0937822562 | | Item Weight | 1.26 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 175 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 1999 | | Publisher | Wooden Boat Pub | ## Images ![Kayakcraft: Fine Woodstrip Kayak Construction - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51YRSj-t7SL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kayakcraft: Fine Woodstrip Kayak Construction *by A***H on January 10, 2007* This book is a must in any kayak builder's library.

It has answered all my questions so far and has got me hooked - the strips cut for my first kayak and I'm just waiting for the router bit to come so I can cut the bead and cove edges before putting it all together.

I can't wait to get started! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another class act *by A***R on March 16, 2007* I don't know how anybody could go wrong buying this book ! I purchased Ted's first book Canoecraft way back in 1983 and it's covers are well worn a great book .It was the definative book at its time and I feel that Kayak Craft is the same today . If someone isn't able to build a kayak from this book ,then they aren't trying or shouldn't be trying . I built several canoes with Ted's fist book and never bought a plan ever . If you read thuroughly and pay attention it won't be hard. Don't be afraid of this book . I'm glad I bought it the only way that this book could be better for me is if the very numerous and professional pictures were color . This is a very thorough book with nothing missing . ## Frequently Bought Together - Kayakcraft: Fine Woodstrip Kayak Construction - The Strip-Built Sea Kayak: Three Rugged, Beautiful Boats You Can Build - Building Strip-Planked Boats --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2355351-kayakcraft-fine-woodstrip-kayak-construction](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2355351-kayakcraft-fine-woodstrip-kayak-construction) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
