Enthusiastic about Wooden Canoes
Just picked up this canoe for next to nothing and wanted a little more information on it. I plan on restoring it but need help on where to start. The ribs all look good except one. However it was painted on the inside and that will need to be stripped and sanded so there may be more cracked, plus both ends needs work (ribs look ok at the ends) and the rails need replaced. Doesn't appear the seats are original. There are two layers of canvas which I did not remove yet. I have enough woodworking experience so this shouldn't be a problem just many hours scraping, sanding and producing replacement parts.
Thanks for your help, Mike
