Jesper,
This gentleman's "kano" it "wunderbar". Sorry no Danish at my age.
It would also be "wunderbar" if you could give us a short description of his construction techniques.
From what I can see in the pictures the canoe looks like a wood and canvas version of a birchbark canoe. Very unique!
Building a bent-rib/planked hull without a mold must involve some very special methods.
Please, visit your landsman and see if he is willing to tell us more. In English if possible. More picture would also be greatly appreciated.

Guys,

: Just saw this program on Danish TV about a guy who is a killer for building
: both SOF canoes and 'yaks.

: Text + pics (people from Scandinavia should be able to read this)

: Danish TV also sent a program where he built a SOF kayak, but unfortunately
: they haven't put any programs online from that.

: The funkiest thing just ocurred to me : This guy lives just a mile down the
: road from my summer house. Gotta go see what he is up to :-)
