Curious about Wooden Canoes
Hello Members. I am brand spankin'new to the forum. I recently purchased a project from a gentleman, who purchased this project from another gentleman several years ago. So I am the third person to have this canoe in its current condition. The first person had taken the canoe to a boat building school on the Maine coast as part of a class, in order
to work on it. Some of the ribs have been replaced, a couple planks, decks and both stems. No serial number that I can find. I was told it was an Old Town Canoe. It has diamond headed bolts for the seats. Decks have replaced and are heart shaped. I was told they also are the orginal design. It is 20' long and light as a feather. I was hoping someone could identify make and model and which would help with the restoration. I am assuming the planking is cedar? Thank you.
