Curious about Wooden Canoes
I am very excited to start my first canoe restoration. I've done wooden boats before, but the history of these canoes is unmatched. I find it very interesting. The canoe I have, I believe is a 16' Otca pre 1957. It has 20" mahogany decks with coaming. The serial number is a little difficult to read but I am sure it is 127149 16. I plan on restoring it to its original stae. Can you tell me what wood was used on this canoe and possibly any options it may have had. I think this is a fantastic resource. Thankyou to everyone who has helped me thus far. Thankyou Shawn P. Briggs
