Shame on your magazine.. - The WoodenBoat Forum

January/Febuary 2025 issue. Barn find canoe “restoration” article. I used to consider this magazine as cream of the crop examples of wooden boat building and restorations….no longer. This article shows details of a restoration that simply is not acceptable. Detail photos are really hard to...

There was a time when WB would arrive, and I'd read it avidly from cover to cover. At the end, there was little of interest, usually just the TOC and reviews. I decided if I really wanted to read an article, I'd buy a single copy.

FWIW.

I am finding that I like the Mastering Skills and Small Boat Nation products more than the magazine. Whenever there is an article about something I’m interested in it never seems to really go as far as I want. Or it’s all advertisements. I suppose it is just a magazine, not a scientific journal.

Many people confuse "restoration" with" repair". I have done both based upon what the customer wants, and how much they want to spend. I have restored many "repaired" canoes, which quite often involved lots of fiberglass and resin.

Understand but this is not the case!
