[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 371205, member: 7544"] I'd be very doubtful that you could get a 1x4 to follow the contours of the boat from front to back as 1 piece. It would work fine if you only had to follow the ins and outs, but when you need to curve it upward as it nears the front of the boat, I think you'll be outta luck. You'll have much better luck with something like the 1½" x 1½" stock you mentioned. My suggestion would be to watch a few of the youtube vids on how to build a wood steamer and maybe some vids on building birch bark canoes as they offer some hints on bending wood. [/QUOTE]
