I want to build a slat wood canoe? - canoe wood source
That I would like to use instead of pine cedar ribs with 6 ml of sea-level, then coat the inside with epoxy and no fiberglass. Pine is a bit hard, but you must add an additional force. Can anyone see a problem with that?

If by "slats" You are the traditional area, narrow tables, meaning narrow, thick ribs - then you need to create a way to the boards to find water leaking in them forever. This is done traditionally filled with material (with a waterproof coating and painting). Recent Canoes Cedar planks are coated with fiberglass and epoxy resin. Planking in traditional canoes was (is) about 1 / 8 or 3 / 16 inch.
Use cedar instead of pine will not make the boat very much stronger, but wlll be difficult if the pin starts to absorb water. And he will die, the death of a young pine, one starts to rot.
If by "bars" is the band "built" method in which the tables are made thicker and stronger and can be glued pine meet May. You must ensure that (the epoxy coating is enought) inside and outside are too thick, absolutely waterproof. There would be no possibility of this state if the boat is constructed with ribs to (unless they are inside at a later date after epoxying. Stripsbuilt in a strip canoe is usually 1 / 4 inches in diameter and about 3 / 4 inches wide.
If you build a table of rib boat with the largest investment in materials and time to properly construct the building. The use of cedar for the ribs and tables, everything else is a disaster. Coverage outside of the canvas canoe full - or Dacron sealed with lacquer for aircraft - or with FG and epoxy.
Cedar is used because it is naturally waterproof.
Pin like a sponge. He's drowning in its first season.
If you are not a canoe too heavy, may, I would say, no problem.
