Enthusiastic about Wooden Canoes
As some of you might know I recently inherited two Rushton's that have been in my family for some time. I am wondering what the most sensible options are for there future lives? I know that question has a lot of other questions that can come from it. So I am not really interested in giving the boats to a museum or selling them. I guess the options are...
1. Restore- A. Do it myself.
B. Pay a professional.
2. Preserve- A. Do it myself.
B. Pay a professional.
3. Leave them alone, store them and look at them.
I guess by 'preserve' I mean take off chipped or loose paint and/or varnish and repaint/varnish. Also replace the broken stem on the larger boat. Find oarlocks. Not really do much else. By 'restore' I mean attempt to make like 'original' and or good for show. I would love to hear peoples thoughts.
