Curious about Wooden Canoes
Hello,
My HW is of the closed gunwale variety. Has anyone had the same and replaced the outer gunwale with the beefier modern style, rather than the flat strip type that is simply nailed to the planking and frames?
Also, my inwales have been scarfed(approx 6" long)midships on both sides, creating a hard bend on each side. I can't imagine OT doing this because it creates a noticeable kink in the shear line, although it looks like it is original. Anyone else have this problem?
