Hey all. Some of you may remember my cedar strip canoe in progress. Well, wait no longer! It is finally done after being worked on a little at a time over a 3 year period. Here's some specs, 16' long, 30" at beam, tandem with solo capabilities. I used western red cedar for the planking with 2 strips of sugar pine for accent. All of the trim is done out of Ash. Some may ask why I didn't opt for caned seats, well the main reason is I really wanted to just get this boat on the water quickly so I used webbing (turned out to be comfortable too.) I do need to adjust the seats. The initial stability as it is called isn't very good, meaning it's very unstable. However, the secondary stability is good, meaning it's really hard to tip over. My girlfriend gets a little squeamish with so much rocking back and forth plus I don't care for it, so I'm going to try correcting it some. Look at the pics and enjoy, let me know if you want closeups of anything. PS, I started this boat when I was 18 years old and had no, i mean no woodworking experience. Now that I have a lot of experience, there is a ton I'd do differently to improve craftsmanship.
Thanks,
Tyler
