Help with starting points - skin on frame

[Clinton1]

Hey all,
I'm considering doing a skin on frame canoe, but I don't even know where to start. E.g. what is the material for the skin. Can anyone help me with any websites that would be a good starting point?

Also have a look at Jeff Horton's designs and shop. I built his Curlew design using skin, sinew and footrests purchased from him. He was good to deal with.

He also has a forum for his SOF designs on the Messing About forums.
