Purchase of Latigo and Sinew

The latigo is for deck lines and the sinew to bind the frame.

Purchased from Tandy.

Latigo 5/32"X50' for $19.99
Artificial Sinew 8oz (about 300 yards) $16.69
Shipping $8.00
Tax $2.57

Total: $47.25

In retrospect I should have visited my local store. The sinew was $8.00 off so I might have come out OK if the local store sells the sinew at regular price. I should have plenty of material left over after building one kayak.

Skin on Frame Project

I've been interested in Skin on Frame Kayaks for several years now. I'm finally getting around to building one for myself. I've ordered Building Skin on Frame Boats, by Robert Morris and will be building his Alaskan Recovery Kayak. I should receive the book within the next couple of weeks. Until then I'm going to be busy preparing my work area and assembling some of the tools and supplies I know I'll need.
