Kelly: Sorry I missed your request for photos. I'm half way through building a Great Auk. Presently I've just started working on the deck. I completly neglected to record progress with a camera, but I can certainly shoot off a roll of film of the work to date and send you prints if your interested. Or I can try to scan and include them here. As a first time builder I'm finding the construction very rewarding. Nick's right - It's easy to get hooked on strip kayak. What stage are you at? - Ray Lett
