: Hi Roger :)

: Well, the site looks great!! Between Bill and yourself, you have enough info
: for anyone to build a priemo Walrus. Great work from both of you. What did
: you decide to use for skin, and finish? Looking forward to seeing the skin
: on both boats.

: Rehd........laggin,' but workin' on it. :)

I’m covering the kayak with #10 Duck canvas. I got my hemp canvas swatch in the mail and am waiting to compare to the cotton duck canvas I ordered for this kayak. I think the hemp has a looser weave.

I still haven’t decided how to finish the canvas yet. Maybe a boiled linseed oil concoction. I have received a lot of emails recommending Snow Roof for the underside. I still have some time before I make such a decision.

Hey Rehd, Lets see some pics.

Roger
