Wooden Canoes are in the Blood
My 62 pound bouncing blue canoe came home today after 7 weeks labour.
I built this "goshawk" model canoe at Roger Foster's shop (Carlisle Canoes Co.).
Roger was the builder who led the construction workshop at Assembly. That canoe was auctioned off for $1800. After it was gone, one of my daughters said that Mom said that I should have bought it. It sure would have saved me some money, and some time too, but I wouldn't have had the opportunity to spend long hours at Rogers shop.
