I hope you don't mind me picking your brain on details. It's obvious you've thought this rehab through, and I'd like to get your perspective as you go along. I like your approach with the stringers. Use lightweight non-structural core, and let the laminate do the work.

I'm in the planning stages for my next project, complete rebuild of a '74 Hewes Bonefisher, and I'm thinking along some of the same lines.

I`ll be following this build. Billy also has a beautiful mind. And he likes to share.
