Hello all,
My name is Ethan and I currently work for Friends of the Missouri Breaks Monument, a small non-profit in Montana. One of our supporters donated a beautiful wooden canoe hand built by himself for us to put on our online auction in an effort to bolster our restoration projects this summer. Unfortunately, I don't know a lot about woodworking, let alone how to built a canoe! As a non-profit, we don't have the funds to afford a full appraisal and I was hoping someone here would be able to give a rough appraisal of its worth so that we have an idea of where to start the bidding process to get the most out of it. Attached are specifications, design print, and photos of finished work. Thank you all!

Length: 17' 2"
Weight: 42lbs
Beam: 34"
Max Payload: 450lbs
Draft: 4"
Material: cedar strip with mahogany thwart and gunwales
