Curious about Wooden Canoes
Purchased this canoe a few years ago from the relative of a deceased canoe enthusiast. We generally restore Old Towns for our own use so this canoe was a good one for my son's first restoration as practice. The deck and stern tips were rotten and canoe was bare of any canvas. Canoe was restored, seats caned and exterior was fiberglassed using the West System. The deck has an Indian Head inlay of walnut, cherry and curly maple. Not sure if this was a kit or built by the original owner. Does anyone know if this is a known canoe manufacturer? It has plagued us for years.
