I’ve built a couple of pirogues years ago. 20 years ago I built a cedar strip canoe when my youngest son was 2 years old. He now likes to do woodwork and stated that he wanted us to build a canoe, so I said “as soon as turkey season is over we will build each of us one.”
This will be his and his wife’s canoe. We will be starting mine in a week or so, just as soon as we glass the outside of his and we can remove it from the form.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
