: Very nice Dave,

: You know you can cover one with normal fabric once in awhile .

Hmmm. Not sure either of us can answer this, but what is "normal"?

I think sometime before March I'm gonna build a canoe out of linoleum. That's gonna be quite a stretch from the "usual", and definitely not normal. But, I think it can be a great synthetic replacement for birchbark. The problem I've been trying to resolve for a few years is how to seal the ends. I think I've got two workable solutions to that problem now, and possibly a third.
