John-
Nice job on the baidarka!

It looks like a tricky (i.e. fun) boat to build. My ShootingStar plans are still on the shelf, but perhaps one day...
;-)


Thanks John,

The bow and the stern take a bit of carving and have some tricky bends, but they are both small and built seperately. Hence, if you bugger it up, starting over is not much of a loss. I had to build two bows, and an extra half stern. The stripping is quit easy, with some pretty relaxed bends.
