Uses for white cedar lap siding...?

Hello all,

Will be taking removing some white cedar lap siding in a month or two and was wondering if there is a boat use for this?  It's painted so I dont know how knotty it is.  There will be a ton of it i believe though.  My desire is to one day build a strip canoe.  Doable with lap siding?  Maybe a lap strake dingy type?  Ideas...?

Thanks,

Blue

I'd sure give it a try. You're a rip saw and a surface planer away from a lot of strips if the wood is solid. I like the idea oof reusing wood and if the knots are solid and small they may look good on a canoe.Be sure to get out ALL the nails... SEEYA JAck

You could even epoxy the knots to stabilize them if needed.
