Project Information

Here is another canoe. Once again it is done with plans from Building A Strip Canoe, by Gil Gilpatrick. This is the Wabnaki model, and is 16' long. It's three feet wide in the center, 12" deep, and weighs around 65 pounds. If you would like more information and a whole bunch of pictures, I did a blog also. Sorry, I don't know how to put in a link for the blog, you will have to look for 'Cedar strip canoe build', you will find the series. The hull is White Cedar, the gunwales are Ash, the seat frames are Birch, and the decks are Elm. I really enjoy a canoe build, but have other projects waiting. I hope you check out the blog, any questions and comments are welcome. Thanks for looking.
Update - Here is a link to the blog, Thank you to joeinga, and Sasha, for helping me to get this link here.

Outstanding craftsmanship and absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to do the blog. Very much enjoyed following along on the build. For anyone wanting to build a canoe I highly recommend reading Jeffs blog first. It will def be helpful. Great job buddy

I seriously need to finish the 15 projects that I have started so I can start on the canoe that I have been wanting to build for about 5 years now. I am actually hoping to build two, one for each son. Your canoe turned out really nice.

That's a gorgeous canoe.

Thanks for the great blog. I only discovered it a few days ago and spent the night before last reading it from number 1 to 49. It's something I have often wondered about doing but, wow, there is a lot of work in that.
