Canoe 2

Very nicely done. The contrast in the wood colors make it stand out. Do the pics show the seat in the lowered position?
I really enjoy looking at handcrafted wooden boats and you have a nice one.

Jimboe, Great job!
I don`t think i`d ever have the patience or skills to build
a canoe / boat.
I really like the caned seat.

What a great project, and what a wonderful job you have done. Is there more of these in your future? Keep up the good work.

Nice looking canoe, you did a great job on it. I made one about ten years ago with my sons scout troop it was alot of fun we build our from a book also, we also build a sea kayak from plywood. I have been wanting to build another one maybe this summer. I all ready have all the forms cut just need to build me a strongback. did you cove and bead your strips or plan each to fit, we planed ours I had the cove and bead bits but I wanted to let the boys use the block planes and see than you didn’t need machines for every thing.

Jim,

This is a wonderful canoe. Too bad about flipping your boss but I am sure that won’t be held against you. :)

With two of them it looks like you are now an expert. I am sure that there are more to come.

This is great I would love to attempt a boat someday. Thanks for sharing it.

Hi Jim

You did a beautiful job on the canoe. I always thought an all wood canoe looked so neat. Flipped the boss out. At least you did not say X boss. Maybe it is the the picture, but is there enough knee room between the seat and yoke? Thanks for posting.

God Bless

Great Canoe! One day I’ll get to that sea kayak I’ve always wanted! Thanks for the inspiration!

Very nice. Well done. What is the size and weight? There are others here, including myself, that have built strip canoes. Takes time, but well worth it.
