: The cherry was a BIT harder to work with than white cedar. It takes
: me about 4 hours to layout and carve a GP. This bugger took
: twice that. Only 32 oz to boot.

: My father-in-law is retiring in June. He'll be getting a solo canoe
: (strip built) with cherry accents from us. I should be starting
: that in mid-April after the winter play finishes. My wife and I
: are part of a local theatre group. This winter we're doing
: "Once Upon A Mattress" with my wife as Princess
: Winnifred. It should be a hoot. The gentleman who usually builds
: the sets passed away a few weeks ago. I'm going to try and fill
: his shoes.

Hi Dan,

LOL, try to fill his shoes, yeah ok, I suspect you'll do it very well :)

I'll have to try canoe paddle building eventually, add it to the list .

Which solo canoe are you building? Or do you design it yourself?
