Hi!

I know this is a kayak builders forum. But you folks have been so helpful I wanted to share my latest project with you.

Attached are some photos of the canoe I built for my son. It is S&G Lapstrake construction. It is 14 ft long and weighs 54 pounds. I added brass bow and stern bands. dyed the top board and used brass "Old Town" diamond head bolts to attach the seats and thwart.

Itwas built from a kit provided by Shearwater Boats.

I think it turned out rather well.

Keep Smilin',
