North Alaskan Hunting Kayak Construction Details

In this comprehensive video we take a deep dive into traditional North Alaskan kayaks and the process of constructing replicas of historic kayaks in general. North Alaskan Kayaks are intricate, challenging to build, and quirky to paddle, but just like all traditional kayaks, they teach valuable lessons that can be applied to modern kayak design. Make sure to also check out the beautiful video we created showing these kayaks being built, from start to finish: For more skin-on-frame kayak building videos visit our website: and follow us on instagram where we post a daily build blog of what we do in the shop, including time lapse lapse videos of this entire process!
