In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: baidarka bow form rational (Edward)

My theory is that initially they gathered all the deck stringers into a bundle at the front and tied them together. Then they gathered all the hull stringers into a bundle and tied them together in a separate bundle.

The hull bundle was curved upward to prevent water from being driven into the opening at the end.

Then, over time the shape just became more refined.
