Thank you, to everyone that took the time to answer my question a few weeks
ago. I have ordered several of the books that were recommended. Here's my
list:
"The Aleutian Kayak" - Wolfgang Brinck (I found it online,used, from
Columbia Trading Co).
All of the other books were available from Amazon.com:
"Building Skin-on-Frame Boats" - Robert Morris
"Qayaq: Kayaks of Alaska and Siberia" - David Zimmerly
"Baidarka" - George Dyson

for a little bit of light reading, I also ordered
"Darwin Among the Machines: The Evolution of Global Intelligence" - George
Dyson
"The Starshipand the Canoe" - Kenneth Brower

I'll post again, after I've done my reading, and I'm ready to start my
project. I'll be using cypress for the frame.
