Canoe build
I see all of the people hear love to fish, what other hobbies are there floating around.
I am a hobby woodworker. Here is my latest project. I finished this canoe back in April. It is made from Poplar, Eastern Red Cedar and Western Red Cedar.

Nice workmanship, I would hate to get it wet. Would look great in man-cave.

Very pretty contrasts you set up there.
Strip built,...West system epoxy?, looks like a layer or two of glass too?
Do you rip your own strips? ,...if so, do you cove them, or just go bevel?
