Canoes & Guideboats
I'd like to share a few photos of two canoes that I launched last week.
I built these boats over an open form using Alex Comb's Unity plans.
I had plenty of expert help along the way. Many years ago I took a canvasing course from Jerry Stolmok. Although old age has dimmed a lot of my memories, enough of Jerry's words of wisdom remained to help me through that process.I relied very heavily on Alex's form building and canoe building DVD's and Rollin Thurlow's wood steaming and boat building videos. Of course Jerry and Rollin's book was always near-by.
If you're interested, I have a photo gallery of the building process at: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000425478692
