Cedar Strip Canoe in process.


Recommended Posts

To say I'm impressed is an understatement.  I don't really call myself a woodworker, but we did make nets.  Laker used capped pvc pipe for a soak tank for our strips. Do you have any idea what the final weight will be?

Yes, thats shaping up very nice!  Great work.

My brother finished his kayak a few weeks ago.  He was stupid and trusting enough to let me paddle it around at Lindenlure for a bit while on my 3rd All Day IPA.  Very fast, light, and responsive.

I followed his build.  The Little Auk.  He did amazing.  Glad you got to try it out.  

 

@laker67I expect to be around 50 pounds  give or take.  It is all glued.  I milled each strip. The brown is Western Red Cedar,  and the red is Eastern Red Cedar.   

I am curious about the nets.  Did you weave the ropes or purchase them?    If I'm using incorrect terminology,  I apologize.   I'm no woodworker myself.   Just alot of encouragement from many other builders and good directions from books/YouTube/and Facebook Groups.  

Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me)

I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)

We bought the net bags.  I wanted to go rubber.  Rick insisted they didn't make them deep enough to land his big fish.  Turns out he was correct.  He would never have landed that big boy.  He only got 2/3 of him in the net as it was.

That's a work of art.  If I ever build one, you don't get to beach it.  Pick that jewel up and haul it out on your shoulders, IPA or not. :)
