Strip Canoe
« on: April 01, 2016, 02:29:13 pm »
I needed another project besides knapping,  hide tannin, and messing with primitive fire, Here's a couple pics of my cedar strip canoe with here final coat of fiberglass on the outside. Need to glass the inside and install trim and seats and she should be ready for her maiden voyage. I live close to French creek which dumps into the Alleghany then the Ohio and the Mississippi, wonder how long it would take me get from just  south of Lake Erie to New Orleans, people way before me were headed there. Maybe I'll try it soon as I reach my 2nd childhood, ahhh hell I'm already livin my 2nd childhood.  :o :o ;D  Bob

Aw dang!  I have dreamt of doing one of these beauties for close on 20 years!  She's beautiful!

Can't wait to see the "full draw" photo of her on the water!

Very cool project Bob.  Give me a call when you hit the Markland lock and dam on the Ohio and I'll bring you some supplies.

Wow, that is beautiful.  Been on my to do list for a long time.  Looks like you get to check it off.  You definitely should post a picture of it on the water.  I would love to see it.

Very nice canoe Bob.
 Some kids from Brevard College here set out on the French Broad River here a few years ago, headed north to the Tennessee then to the Ohio and Mississippi to New Orleans. Took them 3 months. Bon voyage!  ;D
