>From the Kayak Building Bulletin Board comes this good question:
"Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts about making a skin on frame with
hemp canvas, I figured it would work well, the old dutch boats had to have
been made out of hemp, canvas is the old duch word for cannabis. What weight
fabric would work best though? I'm planning on making a skin guillemot, does
anyone else whose made one have any advice."
I know Klepper uses "a proprietary weave of Egyptian cotton and hemp" for
the deck, but have they ever used it for skin material?
