    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?

    My hobby is falconry... I'm unable to load pics so just use your imagination... Tiny little falcon that takes out small birds, mice, and the ever present grasshopper..
