birch is a poor choice of wood for boats

white oak or mahogany is better

if you laminate thin strips, glue with thickened epoxy not waterproof wood glue.

you want your foundation to be solid and long lasting

if the curves are gentle, sometimes you can scarf together bandsawn sections cut from wider boards but it wastes alot of wood.

	The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely. 1984 was a warning, not a guidebook! It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
