    I am looking for any litterature on how to build a wood boat form similar to a form used to build a ribbed wood/canvas canoe. The boat I want to build would be 14' long. Construction would be 1/4" thick cedar nailed to 3/4" wide steam bent oak ribs spaced about 3" apart. I appreciate any feedback. Pictures would be extremely helpful.
