>>could you comment on your experience at the school? there's an 'intensive' session coming up in Seattle>> Freedman is in Seattle this week, conducting a workshop at The Center for Wooden Boat. The center is at the South end of Lake Union. He will be there though Sunday (09/28/03). You can't miss the class it's right at the entrance. I prefer to work at his shop in Antacortus WA. More room and you can work as late or start as early as you want. The reason I built his Baidarka: Half the weight and a third the price for the SOF compared to a glass boat. I was not interested in being a traditional Aleut kayaker. I still use a Ero. type paddle. The reason I did the workshop: No room at home, all tools are at hand and ready to use, and expert help. All the wood is old growth Red and Yellow cedar. The wood is salvaged from old clear cuts some have been on the ground for 40 years. Skin of 8 to 14 ounce ballistic woven nylon. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
