: 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',

Looks great John. Nice job.

I just finished reading maybe the best book in my life about a father and son that canoed from Canada to the Amazon, over 12,000 miles. "Paddle to the Amazon by Don Starkell" It's the only 5 star rated book I have ever come across in Amazon.com
