Pictures please. Assuming what you have is a wood & canvas canoe the search option and reading older threads is the best place to start. It's an adventure, the prelude to paddling it. Good luck.
The build record and a picture of this canoe are shown at http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?4342 from a previous posting. The picture there indicates that it needs canvas, filler, paint, and varnish. There is lots of information in this forum and from several of the books at http://store.wcha.org/Books/ in the WCHA store that cover this topic. Good luck with the restoration,
