Fresh off the form

[nickb]

Just pulled my very first canoe off the form last night. Thought you all would like to see the fruits of over a year of labor (including building the form) with considerable assistance from this community. Actually, it probably wouldn't have happened without this community...

Hopefully I'll be paddling it by late summer...

Looks GREAT! I have one I'm planking right now. I hope to have it off the form soon.

Very Nice Nick,

Remember to call when you get ready for canvas, or earlier if you just want to show it off.

Awesome! What a great feeling to have made your own canoe. I wish I had time to do the same, gotta lay off the models I guess!

Thanks for the kind comments. She now has decks and cant ribs. I'm working on the thwarts. Every step has been a huge learning experience, of course significantly augmented by you kind (and very patient) WCHA folks.

Just wait 'til boat number 2!
