FINISHED CANOE BUILD

[firewhatfire]

I have finally finished building my canoe. 6 months from start to able to park in my garage again. Poplar, Eastern Red Cedar and Western Red Cedar. Comments and Critiques are welcome and thanks for looking.

[Super Dave]

WOWSERS PHIL!!!! That is amazing! Fantastic job.....good to see the finished pics.
Tell me, what is the round black part at the stern....or is it the bow??? Can't tell with out a rudder! Could this be a blue tooth speaker?
....and who is the guy with the beard??? You didn't have one the last time I was down there!

Awesome work.

Port hole for storage. I should have put a blue tooth speaker in and may swap 1 end out(both have them) Beard left with the colder weather. It will reappear at some point.

I was about to look this project up two days ago. You did a fantastic job building it. Great to see the completion. Enjoy!

Nice looking watercraft. An original design or did you work from a book or plans? What does it weigh? Thanks.

 

[firewhatfire]

worked from a set of plans(Merimac) 16 ft. Since I used the Poplar and added the end caps in it the weight is just over 75lbs. Would be lighter if only cedar was used.

Fantastic job, but WHY are you putting something as gorgeous as that in the water?!?

Beautiful work of art! WOW!

Sam Maloof would have been proud of you. He believed that beautiful wood art should be functional and used!

Congratulations on a job well done. I have always wanted to do one of those and am jealous that you actually did one. Beautiful work.

Beautiful job! In post #6, second picture- is that your bait?

 

[SteveAxelrod]

Wow seems to be the interjection of choice and the first one that came to my mind as well...WOW!

But 6 months? That's why I turn pens! ;O)

It appears to be my bait. Can't remember what it was, maybe a frog.
