Enthusiastic about Wooden Canoes
Am posting this for a friend who is restoring a Thompson Hiawatha canoe circa 1935. An old black and white photo of this canoe shows a distinct water-line change in color (gray scale).
Did Thompson ever paint their canoes two-tone? The original color on this 1935 Hiawatha was red, and the bottom of the canoe looks distinctly darker?
Also wanting to know if the external oak wooden stems were painted, or left the natural color?
Thanks.
