New baby comes home

[Rob Stevens]

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.

Beautiful- especially the color. Congrats! I'll bet you learned all kinds of neat stuff working with Roger.

Here's a re alignment so guys don't have to get a crick in their necks:

Very Pretty Rob. Now get out there arn put some water under that boat.

Nice color. I'd like to paint all my boats that color. Did one so far.

 

[Rob Stevens]

For those who are interested, the colour is Interlux "Sapphire Blue".

Goshawk

Well done! If you are not already familiar with the goshawk (the raptor), do a little seaching and you will see the resemblance between your boat and the bird. The goshawk is a pretty formidable predator in the Northeast. All the best!
