Skin-on-Frame: restoration project
By:Lori Grove
Date: 9/25/2009, 4:50 pm

I have a 12' canvas on frame kayak that needs restoration. It was originally built from a kit, but the canvas dry-rotted over time.

I have removed most of the canvas to expose the wood frame, and it appears to be in good shape. I seek someone who would enjoy the project of providing a new skin (canvas or otherwise) on the frame over the coming winter and has a place to work on it indoors.

Thanks for your reply and feel free to call me on my cell (below). I live in Illinois but will be in SW Michigan this weekend where the kayak is located.

Thanks for your interest - I have photos that can be e-viewed for your reference.
