Here
is a Picture of the Canoe we built. This was her maiden voyage in October 1995 on the barge canal.
It's made of western red cedar except for the thwarts and gunwale's which are made of ash.
Although it doesn't show it, the seats are caned, large and very comfortable! No, I did
not buy a kit! I did however buy a book called 'Building a Strip Canoe' by Gil Gilpatrick.
This canoe is the 18.5' long, E.M. White Guide. It took us 6 weeks of actual construction
time to build and weighs 74lbs. It paddles like a dream!!!
