Skin-on-Frame: Yost Sea Tour 14 EXP

Some pics of a 14' EXP , gunnels, stringers, and keel are WRC, coaming is walnut, frames are 1/2" mahogany ply. Stem and stern are glued and doweled. All frames are lashed with artificial sinew from Kudzu. Skin will be 7oz. nylon from George Dyson. The Greenland paddle is just rough shaped now, shaping was done with a draw knife that had been my grandfathers, should be well over 100 years old. I also have a wooden spokeshave of his that I'll use on the loom. These tools have been in my shop close to 40 years with out being used, it's nice to put them work again.

Here's a link, I don't know about posting pictures.
