: plans and instructions ... traditional skin on frame kayak?
Stig,
Some sites to check out:

www.guillemot-kayaks.com/building/FlexibleBaidarka/right.htm
www.guillemot-kayaks.com/building/ExprncBldgngBaidarka.html

As for plans, Nick has posted Aleut baidarka offsets for strip construction, but the forms could easily be adapted to SoF.

www.guillemot-kayaks.com/building/StripBuilt/Aleut/Offsets.html

WoodenBoat, vol. 143, July/Aug 1998 has an article on building an Aleut two-hole baidarka that includes plans. Much of what we know of Aleut craft is the result of the work of David Zimmerly, a government anthropologist who cataloged many of these boats before they disappeared. The plan reproduced in WoodenBoat is a Zimmerly project from the U.S. National Museum in D.C. You may wish to contact them and see if other plans are available.
Good Luck,
Geo. C.
