You may become a boat builder instead of a barn builder.

That is some very nice craftsmanship, that looks great. What type of timber did you use ?

Apparently, someone has been downplaying their skillset. That's amazing work on the canoe. Very nice!

Beautiful craftsmanship! What woods did you use? I'd be scared of put that beauty in the water

Thanks guys.

The hull is old growth western red cedar, except the light colored strip is Alaska yellow cedar.
The light colored trim is ash, and the dark stuff is black walnut.
The bottom is one solid piece of cedar.
We milled all the lumber.
Oh yeah, I hand caned the seats as well.

That was my second ceder strip canoe, it took me 200 hours to build it....
It's 15' long and about 34" wide, it weighs around 80 lbs I believe.


Sometime when I'm feeling braggadocios I'll post some more pics of stuff I've built.....

I tried to make a living with my woodshop for a few years, but failed on the business end of things.... woodworking is easy, marketing stuff is not....

As everyone else has said, you are a true craftsman and will stand in line for more pictures of your work.

It’s sleeting/freezing rain here now with temps around 35* or so, guessers are unsure of amounts; anywhere from a trace up to 2”-3” of snow.
