At the present time I'm this years president of the local group of woodcarvers. I am an avid canooest and have built both fiberglass and cedar strip canoes and kayaks. I build folk instruments like banjos and dulcimers. One of my Mountan Dulcimers took home a first prize at last years wood show. I also like gardening and photography.

Here's a flat topped Mountain Fiddle and a full sized Kestral done in a natural finish.

I love the canoes. This is one of those projects I've been considering taking on. Any suggestions for a first time build? Kit vs. Scratch, pre-bought forms, etc?

These were made from plans found in a book, Canoecraft by Ted Moores. They are 17 1/2 feet long and have travelled some of the rivers of the Voyegeurs Highway. As I approach 70 I find that I have slowed down a bit but still use them regularly in the summer.

I got the wrong photo. The first one was a trial. I like this one as a finished theme.
