Benson, you recently posted a nice picture of OT workers fairing a canoe post 1910. As I am sure most of the current professionals are not becoming rich and the hobbyists break even at best, has anyone looked at the wages of both the owners and workers "back in the day"? I would think that at the turn of the century there was money to be made but maybe less so in the 40's etc.
I would think that back then it was a profession that kept a roof overhead and today it is much more of a passion that keeps folks engaged and interactive.
I wonder what wages a canoe maker earned as compared to another tradesman at that time.
