Another great job. What do guys like you and Kevin do for a “bucket list”?

Fantastic craftsmanship. You will have the proudest grandkids on the water.

Sweet looking canoe. I also like your other boats in the last pic. Did they come from the same book? Thanks for posting.

The cedar was planed down to 31/16ths then once faired was glassed with 4oz cloth on both inside and out. I then used one layer of 6oz glass tape on the shear and kealson inside and out for strength. After wetout I faired again and then used 2 more epoxy coats and six spar varnish coats. Before glass I always heat the shop to over 80 degrees and put one coat of epoxy on (before any glass) and then turn the air back down to 70 degrees. This makes the wood stop outgassing and suck the resin deep into the fibers. Then the glass oes on the next day.

Amazing. I’m looking to do a boat build within the next couple years and hope it comes out half as nice. Beautiful stuff.
