I'm looking for buddies here on lumberjocks that can guide me in a quest
to build canoes. Here are the designs I'm favoring right now.
I'm ever so slowly putting together a woodwork shop in 1/2 of my garage. I have
been a canoe paddler for 52 years however and I will find a way to build some
canoes in my shop. As of now I want to try both 'stitch and clue' and 'skin on frame'
constuction.
For skin on frame my choice of designs are from Platt Monfort.
This is why I love this site! Have had a stack of Old growth cedar boards follow me around for 20 years waiting to be transformed into a strip canoe, shop is getting close to start this project so thanks for links and another shove!
This is the page for the boat I'm building. They have a canoe and a bunch of kayaks as well. I originally wanted to build the Ruth wherry, but the lower freeboard/narrower hull/stability meant that it won't be as nice in rougher waters on Puget Sound or some of the windy mountain lakes.
Great Link "J". Went there had a look around and found a Video on YouTube of a guy building a Cedar Strip in 9 Minutes! (Yes there's a catch) Beautiful Canoe!
