I have only a few comments/suggestions:<br /><br />Here are my bona fides:<br />Growing up in Minnesota I spent a lot of time on the water. My father was a firm believer in experiential learning and do-it-yourself projects. Also, he was not a fan of motorized boats. We made sailboats, row boats, and canoes. Finally, I spent several years as a canoe guide in the boundary waters of northern Minnesota and southern Ontario (BWCA). I am an old man now and my grown children are not 'into' canoeing. Here are a few comments about your canoe:<br /><br />1) The caned seats would not last a summer season in the BWCA. We used webbing woven around the frame of the seat and tacked underneath. It would last a full season of canoeing and be easy to replace.<br /><br />2) The yoke is beautiful but not practical for portaging. A central thwart would be more useful. Better yet, a sturdy yoke with pads would allow comfortable portaging.<br /><br />Finally, I'm curious to know how much the canoe weighs. We tried to keep our canoes around 80 lbs or less (start of season - they gain weight over a season of canoeing).<br /><br />Thank you for the fine article - makes me wish I were a young man again.<br /><br />Derwin BrownDerwin Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551153202000650501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138194477031802772.post-46384339490504176782021-09-05T07:13:25.321-07:002021-09-05T07:13:25.321-07:00Awesome build, great job!!!Awesome build, great job!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13026149877569558052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138194477031802772.post-34985023005680910602019-10-20T13:59:19.815-07:002019-10-20T13:59:19.815-07:00What are the dimensions of your strips?What are the dimensions of your strips?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01000654446771442305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138194477031802772.post-60560320932101667222019-05-28T02:54:43.998-07:002019-05-28T02:54:43.998-07:00is there a cut list or even a lumber list as i hav...is there a cut list or even a lumber list as i have just recieved plans and not cut list to get me started. i dont want to buy too much timber as cedar is expensive here in irelandAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719898362968157938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138194477031802772.post-44254256096004389862019-03-14T12:58:10.840-07:002019-03-14T12:58:10.840-07:00Man get out of here with your spam.
