Musky Glenn Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Having done wood working all my life, I can truly appreciate all the work that went into your project. It looks like you will be having a lot of fun with the canoe for many years. Congratulations on a work of art. Musky Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 You really did a fine job building your canoe. Can't imagine how much time you put into it, but the end result was sure worth it. Great job. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_T Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Thanks everyone for the kind replies. I really enjoyed this build. It is a stitch and glue design. The wood is 1/8" plywood covered inside and out with fiberglass cloth and many coats of epoxy. The canoe is 16 -1/2 feet and weighs 59 lb. I have approximately 85 labor hours in it not including drying times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking because my strip pirogue weighs 54lbs., and I was wondering what the differance may be. Great job the natural finish looks great. beekeeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
