Hey all you boat builders!
DC:
That's a beauty Bob. My brother-in-law bought one from the widow of a guy that died before he finished it. It sat in his rec room for 18 years. It just needed gunnels and seats. For some reason the guy had dumped any leftover resin in the bottom. It was almost as thick as the ribs in spots. We ground out as much as we could but the boat was always too heavy.
Knoll:
Those 2 are beautiful watercraft, fellas!
Hawkdancer:
Real nice work on these craft!
Kyle, get a copy of the Wooden Canoe by Rollin Thurlow and Jerry Stelmok and checked out the WCHA website - it is very similar to our PA site for info! A great amount of info and knowledge as well as an occasional p****ing contest!. I will be looking for red cedar when I proceed with my project, either erc or wrc, doesn't matter. Good luck with the build.

I've always wanted to do a Cedar strip & Canvas Canoe ! Wirwicki built a really nice Cedar Strip Kayak a while back - real pretty. Bob
Marc St Louis:
Made this 12' kayak/canoe about 30 years ago. I had plans on making a 16 footer but never got around to it
