Have an old Town i think 16 foot . serial number 17505 8 16. ( I had this info but lost it .)
I am interested in any information but am trying to figure out what the wood used for the inner and outer gunwales
i s. It looks like mahogany which i see was used In the " more expensive canoes .
while spruce was also used
Also . If someone has ideas about the stem wood.
as mentioned in another thread, I need to scarf in about 4 inches on the stems and about 9 inches on the Bow Gunwals and 5 inches o n the stern .
Thanks in advance
Doug .
