"Just one more"
I just picked up this canoe because it was different than others that I have seen or restored. Aside from the custom seats and fiberglass job, it has some unique features that I haven't seen before, that I hope will help to identify it. Heart shaped decks made of cherry, closed gunwales with the inner rabbited to accept the rib tops, all the planking is 2 1/2" wide except to top row below the decks which is 7 1/2", the stem is splayed like a Morris but not as wide( only 17/8") and the ribs are 5/16 thick, 2"wide and spaced 2" apart, that taper to 1". The length is 15', 33" wide and 111/2 " deep. The ends are 24" tall. The best that I can tell, the gunnels and stems are oak.. I have not found any markings, serial numbers anywhere. The one thwart is located in front of the stern seat, but not in the center of the canoe. It looks to be a well built canoe and will be a good looking what ever it turns out to be. Thanks for any info you may have . Joe
