The deck is coming along and I'm getting close to carving the whiskey plank. Any tips? Favorite brand? drink before or after? ;)

I'd go for a single malt Scotch, before AND after!!!
Looks good; always wanted to do a Stripped deck (but I'm afraid!).
Look forward to completion pics...

I think before and and after is good advice. Those little strips are annoying. I've been removing a bit of the cove lip on the underside in order to fit them in. I've also decided to do 2 needles butted together. This seems easier that a long double tapered piece.
Next question....filet the seam between the plywood apron and the stripped deck on the underside? I may do this to strengthen it up a bit. Any comments?
Note to self…next time rtfm. There’s a good description of the whiskey plank on page 92-93 of ‘The Strip-Built Sea Kayak’
