Hi there. I'm an enthusiast and bought a half-refinished antique canoe at a yard sale last year.
I find the wood work stunning and do not expect this boat to be water ready. But there isn't any provenance with the boat at all, and I'm hoping a few seasoned experts might help me identify the roots or any context regarding this beauty. I may soon sell it - but I'm afraid it is best as a trophy antique (hang from the rafters?) than a functional flagship.
I would be grateful for any thoughts. Photos attached.
