Being both self-employed and a musician leaves me with more time than money on my hands.

So I had to build this canoe since I couldn't afford to buy one.

Click on it for a series of photos showing construction.

(I carved the paddle too.)

This canoe was donated to me after having spent 15-20 years laying in the mud of someone's garden.

The gunwales were gone and the tops of the ribs and planking were rotted away but some care and effort turned it into a nice solo tripper.
