First, a quick thank you to those who responded to my post!  Oddly enough
there's not a lot out there on miniature wooden kayak kits.  I did manage to
find two sites with some interesting offerings, especially for desktop-sized
models.

http://www.waterspirits.com/

I also found what appears to be a good-looking canoe kit!

There are also some folks out there producing some beautiful fuller-sized
models [too many to name].  I can only wish I was that talented in the
woodworking arena!!!  Chris Cunningham also contacted me and sent me some
images of two models he put together -- a 3- and 5-foot Greenland and East
Arctic respectively. Very impressive models indeed!

Right now, my plan is to start out small, with an eye toward the
larger-sized models down the road. And thanks again!!!

Stay safe -- and happy paddling!

Jim
