My canoe is finished!

[buckeye59]

I just finished her up this week. I plan to launch her saturday at a local lake. For those interested she weighs 70 lbs. The hull is red cedar with mahogany accents. The gunnels are sassafras and the seats, thwarts and decks are walnut. The only thing I didn't make is the center thwart. The front thwart has wing nuts so it can be removed easily if I want to use the front seat for solo paddleing. Her are a few final pics. I'll post some of her in the water when I get some.

WOW !!!!

What a great job, That is one of the nicest
looking canoes I have seen. You put alot of
attention to the details & it shows. I love the
built in compass, adds class & is functional.

That first scratch is going to hurt.

Thanks for posting your progress through out.
