Curious about Wooden Canoes
I've ordered the plans for this canoe but have some questions that I'm sure some of you will have opinions on.
The manufacturer suggests 3/16th thick strips vrs. 1/4" ? Should I add stems bow and stern? If I use staples will they be visible after glassing? Has anybody built one and what are your comments or feelings about it. My plan is for it to be a solo paddler, being paddled like a kayak. Being a few biscuits under 300 should I add a foot to this boat? Can I add a strip or two to increase the depth? the boat plans show it to be 12'6"x 30" 10"
I'd like to hear the opinions and comments
