In Response To: Other: carving a small kayak (Randy)

: Afternoon all,

: After helping my son with a pinewood derby project this year, I
: thought it would be neat to carve a small kayak out of the wood
: block for next year's event.

: Does anyone have a template or link for carving a small (5"
: long) kayak? I'm not a wood carver, but if I could draw some
: lines on a block of wood, I might get by.

: Thanks

You might want to look into a copy of Harvey Golden's Kayaks of Greenland. It has lines drawings of bunches of historic kayaks that you could transfer to a block of wood pretty easily. You could also scour some sites like Brian Schulz's to see if you can find any drawings. Harvey's web site has some as well.
