Peterborough forms looking for a home

[Bob Schwartz]

My father-in-law does not paddle, the joy in his life is working with wood. He has complete construction forms on strongback for a 16 foot Peterborough style cedar strip canoe. He used them to build a canoe and then moved on to other projects. It's a beautiful boat.

The forms and strongback are not easily recycled to other uses. So at this point he is looking for a home for them, and I am looking for ideas. Their current home is Menomonie, Wi, he's willing to deliver them for gas money. Everything is in good condition. Surely someone in the midwest can use them, at least that's his hope.

Can anyone help us find a home for this stuff? Thanks.

See if the new Wiscosnin Canoe Heritage Museum at Spooner, WI may be interested in the jig.

Thanks, that was successful. That's a much better place for that stuff to be and will result in more wooden boats on the water.
