Hello
This will be the first of many questions I'm sure.This restoration will be slow because I want to keep the canoe sea worthy while I finish the Book Case Canoe. I'll just do one small thing at a time until it gets down to removing the canvas. These questions pertain to Morris seats. I've received two opinions regarding the seat hardware. one is slotted screws and the other is carriage bolts. Who's right. Next, the seats on this canoe are Mahogany and they have Mahogany pegs in the four corners holding the caning in. Is this correct? Also, the seat spacers are square as compared to round in every other canoe I've seen. Is this correct?
Thanks in advance for your help
