Canoe Tacks

[slk]

Does anyone know where you can get canoe tacks at a reasonable price?

On the WCHA homepage there is a link for builders and suppliers. Great folks and lots of options.

The going rate is about $60/lb.

Hi, I just bought a pound of 3/4" long brass canoe tacks at Lee Valley here in Canada and paid $92 CAD. Nothing is getting any cheaper it seems.
