I am currently restoring a 1915 16' Kennebec canoe. In another forum, I was told that the notched decks on my canoe were either modified or replaced. I would like my restoration to be as accurate as possible. Does anyone know how I would go about cutting new "heart shaped" decks that will accomodate both inwale and outwale? Does anyone have pictures of a Kennebec deck showing how to attach the wales? What is the best method for this procedure? Do the wales attach to the deck with screws or nails? How do the 2 wales come together at the tip of the bow? I don't think I'll need to steam the wales. Any info would be greatly appreciated, photos are available to anyone wishing to see the project so far. Thanks,
