WOW…... This is a real beauty! Something to be proud of while cruising around. Congrats!

Nice job. Did you hand cane your seats? Show us the paddles you made.

Beautiful work, my friend. I am always amazed and hand built boats, and this is a fine example.

Great looking Canoe! I am intending to build one this fall, I actually started the process 3 years ago but keep getting derailed with other projects. I am also using Gilpatrick’s book, what a great resource! Seeing yours gives me inspiration to put the other projects aside and start working on the canoe. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comments.
the seats are hand caned following the instructions in Gilpatrick’s book. Paddles are still on the drawing board.

Great looking canoe! I’m impressed with your work. I’m going to have to build one someday.

Really nice work, I really like the variegated colouring of the grain on the strips. I built one a few years ago as well but the strips I used were a lot more plain in look, I really like the way the grain shows up on yours.

Nice work on the seats too. I bought pre-made seats and yoke for mine, one day I’ll build my own, along with paddles….and a million other things. :-)

What a beautiful canoe, lovely job.
Love the simplicity, less is so much more here.
