cedar rib t+g router bits???

[walt]

I may be imagining this but I seem to recall many years ago someone (Jeff Church? Mark Adams?) had custom made router bits for cedar rib canoes and that they had been shared around....it sounds too good to be true but could this be true? I am looking to replicate a few and would love to hear what others have done.

Mark Adam’s had a set made up.

Aha, I thought so and thanks Nick. I figured you would know. I will endeavour to track Mark down.

Walt. See the thread below if you haven’t looked already

I just talked to Mark Adams. He did have some made. I had some made, after trying to get by with store bought stuff. I had to modify mine a bit. For the groove I used a Amana 45900, for the tongue I modified one to accommodate that. Hope it is still in the right package.
If you just need enough to finish that pictured section, I'll give you some. Anymore I probably don't have enough.

Thanks Jeff. I had Mark send me his to use....he very generously did, now all I need is to find time to try them!
