Having done wood working all my life, I can truly appreciate all the work that went into your project. It looks like you will be having a lot of fun with the canoe for many years. Congratulations on a work of art. Musky Glenn

You really did a fine job building your canoe. Can't imagine how much time you put into it, but the end result was sure worth it. Great job.

i was going to ask why you went with a plank as opposed to sheet stitch and glue design when I looked at the first couple pictures, but I have to say the end result is very aestheticly pleasing.

Thanks everyone for the kind replies. I really enjoyed this build. It is a stitch and glue design. The wood is 1/8" plywood covered inside and out with fiberglass cloth and many coats of epoxy. The canoe is 16 -1/2 feet and weighs 59 lb. I have approximately 85 labor hours in it not including drying times.

The canoe is 16 -1/2 feet and weighs 59 lb. I have approximately 85 labor hours in it not including drying times. Very nice! What kind of plywood? What weight cloth? Beam width? I'm asking because my strip pirogue weighs 54lbs., and I was wondering what the differance may be. Great job the natural finish looks great. beekeeper |
