The Wooden Canoe Heritage Association has a BBS dedicated solely to wooden canoe building, restoration and enjoyment: http://wcha.org/wbbs2/index.cgi

: I have been checking in on this site on a regular basis since first finding
: it a few weeks ago. Kayaking is easily my favorite past time. I've built a
: strip kayak and I have bought a manufactured kayak as well. I enyoy using
: both. I get alot of looks and questions anytime I take the stripper. I
: also enjoy canoeing and I'm in the process of restoring an old chestnut
: cedar strip canoe that has been in the family for close to 40 years. A
: site similar to this, specific to canoe building would be a big help. If
: anybody knows of such a site I would appreciate the info. thanks in
: advance.
