A Marsh Pirogue (almost) A Kids Pirogue

One more;

Most of the knots were on the inside, hence the paint. I picked through lots of sheets to try and get the better ones. Quality of wood/lumber today is pitiful. Hard to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Most are built with 1/4" exterior pine plywood with white pine lumber for the framing. Using common construction materials allows me to keep the cost within my "for fun" budget. We have gotten good service out of the boats with reasonable care. I like building with traditional "by hand and eye" method with no fiberglass or epoxy. Marine plywood is better quality, but much more expensive. It would be easier to work with.

Thanks. I don't know why one set of pictures remain. Photobucket has deleted all of mine (and others) and will not post them unless you upgrade to $$$ plan. I have not found a new free site to use. When I do I may try to repost some of the pictures. beekeeper
