Who hid my paddle?
I know someone will know this one right off but I am clueless as to what it is.
15' 9" x 37" Width may have opened up. Zero tumblehome.
An expert restoration appears to have been done. the inwales are accurately spliced. Almost invisible.
The center thwart is missing but leaves behind four plugged holes. Two per side.
Screws-slotted
Looks like shellac was used inside.
Hand caned seats
regular keel.
non brass stem band.
decks are shaped underside and very tight fit. I wonder if they are rplaced? Flat hand thwarts.
knee brace from top of stems to tip of decks underneath is nicely made and fitted. Fastened with slotted screws.
narrow planks fit nice.
Ribs are tapered and bevelled both sides and no irregualarities.
There are no no markings anywhere. I wonder if the stems were rplaced?
