: I have a wood kayak on which I would like to protect the bow and
: stern points. I have seen roughly oval shaped items on Greenland
: skin and frame kayaks. Does anyone have suggestions on how to
: make these, what kind of wood to use, and how to best attach
: them to the boat? Thanks!

They are eggs, wooden eggs, I think. From what I remember they get them at the craft stores, cut the part to fit over the ends and epoxy in place. I remember seeing them, don't remember where though.
