Dear Tom and all,
Great looking kayaks! I like the end details of the
Alaskan kayak-- very elegant. How does the Cumberland
Sound kayak trim out? (On the water pics?) I've long
thought about making a copy of that one too. (The
original is presently on display at the Canadian
Museum of Civilization.) Are these canvas or painted
synthetic? How do they feel? What do they feel? Are
these last two questions the same or different? While
you articulate 'feeling,' where the does the feeling
actually begin-- in you or in the kayak? ;-)
Great Work!
Harvey
