cedar strip canoe

Very nice

Monte that is just beautiful. Very well done

Man that is a great project. The order of the strips is fantastic. Well done.

Gorgeous. Great job!

Great job-very nice craftsmanship in your build.

Tacoma07,

Beautiful… I see you used the molds and stations method. What kind of finish did you use on the outside and was that glass you where laying on the inside?
The build must have quite a few hours in it… I built a Chris Craft Barrel Back bar and it took me 8 months…

Thanks for posting,
Mike

Hello tacoma07

Very very very nice.

How many time did you need you make a so beautiful canoe ?

Thanks for sharing

She's a beauty and customized for you. I've built a strip kayak so I do understand the labor of love these things take.

Thanks everyone. Yeah it took me a long time. Hard to say how many hours. I didnt keep track. Total time was about a year and a half. But i did many projects in between, plus the resin and varnish also required the right temps.

Mikee, yes that was glass on the inside. I put a layer also on the outside as well. Its amazing how it really clears up with resin. I only put a wetout coat on the inside. Another words you can still feel the fiberglass weave. The outside I put about 4 coats on. And that gave it the glass finish along with 4 coats of spar varnish.
I took pictures at each major step of the build. I will add a link below if anyone wants scroll through.

Well done sir! That is amazing!

Always wanted to build one of these. Beautiful work.

At first I taught it was a small toy…outstanding!

Awesome! My dad made a few of these back when I was in high school so I know how time consuming these are. Looks fantastic!

Whoa, nice!
