: Merry Christmas and happy new year to all. I got some gift cards to BN book
: store for Christmas and got some books. I preorderded Nick's new book and
: picked up 2 more. I was intrested if someone could give some review. They
: are Wood and Canvas Kayak Building by George Putz and Building the
: Greenland Kayak by Christopher Cunningham.

: I have built 2 canoes and 3 strip kayaks and got 2 more in the shop. I would
: like to read up before I go skin on frame. I am also intrested in books
: that others have found helpful.

: lots of thanks to all Clayton P.

I've got and read both, somehow I've got two copies of Cunningham's book, can only find one .

Putz, book is interesting, though the kayaks are awfully wide. Cunningham's book I like a lot, his methods are very workable. I'd also recommend Robert Morris's book " Building Skin-on-Frame Boats" as well as Mark Starr's book " Building a Greenland Kayak".
