First post here so: Hi!
Since last september I am restoring a peterborough 16ft wooden/canvas canoe. I thin the model is a rideau, SN: 1433-2977. It's was my grand's father wedding gift to my grand'ma.
The canoe was victim of vandals long times ago and repair without knowledge and good technical bases.
I wanted to keep the restoration technics most 'traditional/original' that I was able to do as far as my knowledge and equipment permit it. It's my first restoration so I have to face many problems and questions.
I hope apply canvas this week. I read that filler must dry 3 weeks!
So here the canoe. I will post some uptades(and questions) as soon as possible.
