Those photos really are nice Arko. It looks to be a very useful kayak. Being very stable is a good thing ( I'll bet some who built a narrow Greenland style are wishing they followed your example.) Did the kerfing method of bending the masik work ok and the result seem plenty strong?

: Finally got started on my first SOF and have completed the deck and I have to
: say that this has been one of the most rewarding and fullfilling
: experiences of my life. I can now understand why you people get hooked on
: these things.Anyway, as I said, here is the deck. I am soaking my rib
: stock and hope to start on the hull in a day or two. This is not like the
: Greenland boats so prevailent on the bulliten board,with more than twice
: as many deckbeams and and about 6 more feet of gunwale length,but I said
: what the hey and jumped into it as I got tired of waiting for my books on
: the Greenland boats when I found this one on arctickayaks site. I think it
: is a good looking boat.I'll keep you posted.
: I am going to have to post pics as individual posts.
