canoe

My canoe is canvas covered, dimensions are 15' long, 34" wide, 13 1/2" deep. All ribs are 1 1/2" x 5/16" and spaced at 1 1/2" apart. The decks are rounded and the gunwales are open. The serial number is 15-71621. I am the second owner & I have owned it for approx. 40 years and I restored it...

Hi everyone, I'm planning aon building a canoe in the near future but my only concern is what type of wood I would use. I want the wood to be light yet durable, something strong and that could last a lifetime. What would you recommend me? Any info would be a great help. Thank You...

Jill Dean gives us a history of the canoe in this series of videos taken at the grand opening of the Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum:cool: http://www.wisconsincanoeheritagemuseum.com/Pages/videos.html
