It also has details on things not directly related to construction of the kayak that are absent from other books (e.g. info on tuiliq making or technique). However, there are a few things that many SOF makers consider a bit odd. The seam on the side is not normal and many prefer the look of the central seam. His approach to making and bending ribs is not popular among the Qajaq USA denizens. > Not sure if there is another book worth the investment that I should be > considering. My library doesn't have anything much. See if you can find a copy of Robert Morris's book "Building Skin-On-Frame Boats". He offers more conventional approaches to SOF construction. Many SOF builders will recommend using several sources for info and mixing and matching techniques and ideas. Sources are listed on the Qajaq USA site: <http://www.qajaqusa.org/Equipment/equipment.htm> The forums there are also full of info and have an archive that's several years worth of stuff.
