Just had to echo the comments above, that is fantastic work.

That is going to be one beautiful craft when its finished. Not that it isnt already now.
Amazing to see when all of your hard learnt crafts come together.

Thanks for the kind comments folks.

Kayak is finished apart from a few odds and ends. It has to carry a shelter and sleeping system along with a few essential utensils, hopefully I will get them made soon. I hope to launch the Selkie this month if I get the time ........then on with the adventures...travelling and foraging along the Scottish coast.

She is beautiful Patrick, take pride in her and stay safe on your adventures together.

Good golly gosh (that’s toned down a lot) that’s stunning and amazing and beautiful and all the wonderful words that fail me to say I’m in awe.
I’ve not played in a canoe for a long time, but that wonder is so evocative. I’d be scared silly of damaging it in any way. But the feel and smell and sight are already formed in my head.

Suffice to say I like it

That is just absolutely stunning! Completely and utterly amazing! You have some serious skill and that is a museum quality piece, in fact it's better it's fantastic!

Thank you Patrick - the teasing went on for a long time - but the climactic conclusion was well worth it

That kyak is absolutely outstanding - truly a work of art!

 

[Man of Tanith]

what are the shelter bedding and essentials you plan to add?

 

[georann]

Wow. Just wow.

 

[CallsignSam]

Absolutely stunning, I cannot wait to see it in use!

Sir, she is a work of beauty. I am stunned. Wow.

I hope any vessel I make is even half as pretty as her.

OOI, what did you make the cordage from? Those harpoons are rather pretty also. More photos!

Thanks

Stunning bit of work Patrick

 

[weekender]

Wow! It looks like you've plucked that from a museum display....fantastic craftsmanship. That is a thing of beauty.


Sent from somewhere?

 

[dwardo]

That is just stunning..

 

[GordonM]

Outstanding work from your heart and soul! As a modern day sit in kayak fisherman, I tip my hat to you for creating the beautiful craft in original form! I can't wait to see the pics of her maiden voyage and especially the pictures of the first fish caught from her.

Pat, you once complemented me on my leatherwork (It was at the wilderness gathering). I would like to complement you on being an artisan, that's stunning work.

Utterly exquisite, really quite, quite beautiful! If it handles anything like as well as it looks then it'll be a seriously good boat!
