: Ahhh, sorry we got to you too late, WW.

: Do you know about the QajaqUSA forum
: (http://www.qajaqusa.org/cgi-bin/GreenlandTechniqueForum_config.pl)?
: Many many hardcore SOF builders on that forum, and plywood frame
: and stringer construction isn't excluded (hey, it's still skin
: on a frame!)

: Because I'm lazy and I don't feel like sourcing wood for rib
: bending, and because I have a half a sheet of plywood to build
: another plywood frame and stringer kayak, it's going to be a
: weird hybrid of ply-frame and traditional construction. It's
: going to be lashed, rather than glued, and I anticipate a
: mortised wood masiq/aajaq seeqqortarfiq, and the ends are going
: to be fitted and lashed in more of a traditional fashion.

: Hey, I've got books on traditional building, and resources, so why
: not mix and match how I like? Heh!
