Hello,
I am in the process of restoring a wood and canvas canoe. I have a good amount of woodworking experience, but none working with canoes. I have stripped the canoe down to bare wood. It's easy to determine which ribs need to be replaced, but not so for the planking. There are few boards that definitely need to be replaced, but if I want to be particular, I could replace just about all of them. Can you suggest any guidelines to determine what can stay and what needs to go?
Thanks.
Denis
