Curious about Wooden Canoes
As the title reads, I’m not sure if the canoe is fiberglass or canvas. I’m a complete newbie here and am appreciative of any advice the members of this forum are willing to share. This is a 16’ 1927/28 Old Town CS OTGA model that I acquired from my mom. It’s been hanging unused in a garage for decades and lucky for me - it’s now mine.
I plan on restoring it, but as I’ve never done this before, I don’t really know where to start. I feel like first thing is knowing what material is covering the canoe. When it was built, it was covered in canvas, but my uncle is sure that at one point it was converted to glass and painted. How do I tell?
