Yea white oak is pretty hard, you will need alot of good sharp blades. Are you cutting those frames with a jigsaw? Maybe going with a more aggressive blade, something with less than 10 teeth per inch. Also some jigsaws have a control knob that you can adjust for a more aggresive cut.
I just checked out the Kingfisher 18 and noticed it has alot of similarities, as far as the hull shape and interior layout, with the Bateau Classic 17 I'm building. The construction methods differ though, stitch and glue for the Bateau designs, and plywood on frame for the Glen-L boats.
Good Luck with your build and maybe start a thread with pictures if you can.
