canoe idea for kayaks

I have taken a class on traditional canoe building with cedar ribs, planks, and canvas. My problem is that I wish to make a kayak using this technique, but I am having trouble finding a book or plans on this type of kayak building. Does this type of kayak building exist, and if so where can I locate information on this subject? It seems that everything that is out there is either cedar strip, frame and skin, or stitch and glue.
