        Hmmm the umiaks don't look like they are made from wood!!

    The picture shows two umiaq frames, and you were very clearly
    claiming they weren't make from wood, but rather from bone.

    Of course we've all gotten rounds of laughter from that, because
    you picked pictures of two wooden frames that are located a short
    hop skip and a jump from where I'm sitting. I guaranteed that they
    are in fact wood, not bone.

    You also posted cites for using whale bones in house construction,
    as if that had something to do with it too.

    Keep Weaseling Seppo, everyone is enjoying it.
