Hello from Salem, Oregon. I'm new to the forum and was thrilled to find such a wonderful resource. I am a woodworker by trade and have always toyed with the thought of restoring a worthy older canoe. I came across this the other day,at a roadside sale right out of the barn..excellent wood but needing new canvas and some detailing. My dad is 86 and has a home on a lake here in Oregon. We are going to do this project together over this coming fall/winter. He has a beautiful '53 Chris Craft that he loves to work on, uses and truly enjoys so I would say that this couldn't have happened at a better time. I'm looking forward to using the resources and expertise available here to make this project the best it can be. George Crandall
