Morris King planks

[ticonderoga]

I need to make and install king planks on my Morris with 24" decks and don't have a good pattern to go by. Is there a set design for all Morris canoes or are there different shapes, widths and thickness? If there are any photos out there of possible options for me to copy, that would be great! Thanks

Here are a couple examples-- I don't have measurements, but the cover-board, or king-plank-- tapers a bit from the tip to the inside. I tried to find examples that appear to be unrestored and original to the canoes. Hope this helps.

Kathy, Thanks so much for the info and the pictures. They will help me complete my first Morris. Thank you and everyone else who have shared info about Morris canoes on this site. Joe
