Curious about Wooden Canoes
I purchased this canoe a while ago. In my enthusiasm and lack of expertise I construed the weave of fiberglass as the weave of canvass. Now I would like to know what it is before I decide what to do with it. I wish it was canvass.
Length 11' 2"
Width (outside of gunnel to outside of gunnel) 37 3/4"
Notes: The thwarts and pulleys are later additions. The seat (and there were two), and the yoke appear original.
There is no serial #. The inner gunnel connects to the decks in a distinctive manner (see photo). The copper or brass bolt that connects the inner and out gunnel has a simple head on the outside of canoe. On the inside of canoe the head has a washer around it.
Any insights would be appreciated.
Thank you, Chris Gilgun
