Yes, I can probably do some shots of the bow and put them out on my
website. I built the bow more or less according to the original Lowie
Museum boat. However, people who teach baidarka building seem to
simplify the design of the bow to make the building less time consuming.

p.s.
The instructions in my book are for building a more or less traditional
Aleut design. It is not my design. I cannot take credit for it.
