Wood kayaks are not seen in my parts too often. Other than my buddies I have never seen one other. I am to put stems on my bow and stern. I have never seen a kayak with a stem yet. Any pics I have seen do not show the stem completely. Nor do any instructions I have seen explain how to end the stem on the hull. Are they tapered? End abruptly? Imbedded?
Thx
Kim

RE: Stems for a strip
You dont need them if you lace your strips at the bow and stern. I how ever like them for mental reasons only. It seems as though they will take abuse better, but I am sure that is only in my mind. You can see how I did both inner and outer stems on all 4 of my yaks.
