Been a major lurker this past year, but still around and reading the great posts here! Was curious, anyone know of someone who builds small-scale wooden kayak replicas? Preferably of the earlier boats, e.g., baidarkas, etc. Looking for a special gift for a kayaking family member -- and maybe even one for me. Happy new year to you all!

Eric Shade, of Shearwater Boats builds them. His brother Nick Shade contributes here and has a site as well. http://www.shearwater-boats.com/ http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/Building/Guillemot/Guillemot.html Jim et al ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Tynan" <kayakbound_at_charter.net> > Was curious, anyone know of someone who builds small-scale > wooden kayak replicas?

> Was curious, anyone know of someone who builds small-scale > wooden kayak replicas? There are a number of full scale builders on the Guillemot discussion board (link below) that build miniatures on the side. Don't know if any of them do it as a business, but one of them may be interested in building one for you if the price is right. Bear in mind, these aren't cheap chunks of wood shaped like a kayak. They are built the same way as full scale, fiberglass, cockpits, hatches and all, and are usually to a scale that results in about a 16"-18" finished product (like a scale of 1'=1"). Some of these guys who design their own boats build them as prototypes before committing to full scale. I've seen their pictures - they are first class all the way! Good luck! http://www.kayakforum.com/cgi-bin/Building/index.cgi Come to think of it, there is a guy named Ross Leidy who has some pics of one on his web-site. Check it out at the link below. http://www.blueheronkayaks.com/kayak/index.html Clicking on the photos on that page will open up more pictures.

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.midwestproducts.com/Chesapeake%2017.htm http://www.waterspirits.com/ I also found what appears to be a good-looking canoe kit! http://www.bearmountainboats.com/kits.asp 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!
