Willow ribs for SOF kayak

Brian,
Now *there's* a hatful of good information in a small sentence :-)
Thanks for the references. I'll get them all up.

Well, if you have a good supply of willow and the desire, go for it. Wolfgang
Brinck's book "The Aleutian Kayak" is a good place to start. You might also
want to
join the Baidarka email list and start hanging out on the Kayak Building
Forum
(
www.kayakforum.com
) and the Greenland forum at Qajaq USA (
www.qajaqusa.org
).
"LABOR SVGIT"
I agree, just build the thing and try. What could it cost?? 10 bucks
for a tarp and 5 more for lashings... Of course you could soak strips
of the switches and lash the whole thing with willow strips too! Post
us some pics when you are done...
