You have been a busy man Grandlaker! Beautiful canoes - keep up the good work. Where I live in northern Saskatchewan, not a launch goes by where someone doesn't walk over and introduce themselves to talk about the boat - "Grand dad had one", "used one working for the Dept. of Natural Resources", "used to moose hunt with one"... and sometimes people that have had no direct experience with w/c craft. There is a natural attraction to the materials, workmanship and shape, a certain rightness, that attracts people.
