I was approached a couple months ago about a project that was never completed. This person's father started this canoe project some time ago, I'm not sure of the time line, but he passed away before he could finish it. When his children settled the estate they set aside some funds to finish the project so that they can enjoy this floating final memory of their father.
As you can see from the photos, things are a bit rough but I am certain that we can make this boat shine like it was intended to. A few rookie mistakes were made but nothing that is not possible to smooth out and make solid. Fiberglass solves a lot of issues...
I will have to create some forms to bring the hull back into shape, then maple gunnels, black walnut seats and thwarts and decks should make this project outstanding.
