Who is O. A. McPeek ?

There doesn't appear to be anything related to canoes on that web site. I suggest that you use their "Contact Us" page for more information. The list at the link below may be more helpful if you are looking for people who work with canoes.

The McPeek that ordered these canoes is unlikely to be the same as in the website https://www.mcpeekandsons.com/ but maybe this is the same family.
