I am new here and this is my first post. I have what I think is a Chestnut 15 ft. canoe beginning to restore. The decks are heart shaped, beam is 33 in and 12 in from top of rail to top of planking. All ribs are the same width not sure what they measure and I am away from home for three weeks. Seats were caned and it appears to have had one center thwart which was moved aft after the inwhale was broken amidships. An old fastener is still in one side and different fasteners were used to fasten the thwart aft, but it is not long enough to have been used in the center. All the plank fasteners are copper which may help date it also. Will try to post pics.
Thanks for any help.
