I am enjoying it. Hopefully my wrist will cooperate and let me get back to it this spring.

That is gorgeous! Great work, Gary. This is a project that is on my bucket list as well. Where do you live in KY and what lake did you take it out on?
Re: Cedar Strip Canoe completed - Gary™ - 12-16-2012
I live near Versailles and take the canoe out to Beaver Lake west of Lawrenceburg. You're welcome to stop by sometime and see it if you want

Nice work Gary. Looks like you laid up the strips without staples,I don't see the tiny holes.I laid up the strips on my canoe that way.I made " clothespins" from scrap to hold the strips. If I ever build another I think I might experiment with pin nails. Should be able to pull them from the back side after the forms are stripped.
My canoe is 6" longer than yours at 15'-6".
I couldn't get ash long enough, used white oak for the gunwales.

When are you going to take it out for the Bowron circuit?
