Noel Eaton
Enthusiastic about Wooden Canoes
Hi there,
I,m new to this site and just want to introduce myself ,
my name is Noel , I,m a retired Psychiatric nurse,
I live in a small village in Montgomery Powys , Mid Wales UK
I,ve been canoeing for about a year in a GRP canoe , I bought the bare hull and fit it out in green ash,
I,ve kind of got the bug now !
I recently bought a cedar and canvas canoe on eBay,
i will be collecting her from Norfolk here in the UK later this week ,
I have no information about the origin or history of this boat ,
So I will be asking lots of stupid questions in the near future I,m sure
It,s my intention (dependant on condition ) to attempt to restore this canoe at some point so there will be yet more questions of a similar calibre to follow ,
The only information I have to date Is that the canoe is 14 ft long seems to have alongitudinal line with an arrow head at each end down the length of the hull ,
There seems also to be what we think is a French Canadian flag painted within the arrow head motif,
from that snippet of info does anyone have any ideas of a maker ?
Regards to all and hope to make an electronic aquaintance of many of you in the future
