Mike,

I really lucked out with the cockpit.  It fits great and is very comfortable 
and snug.  I love carving out the closed cell foam for seats, and hip and 
knee braces.  You can't get any more custom than that.

As for the "woody" look, I chose wood because building a fiberglass kayak 
would've involved making a plug, a mold, and then the kayak.  Another 
advantage of wood is the stiffness, which I really needed for that flat 
bottom.
