7. 1930 Old Town War Canoe, 25'
Restoration project!
It was sold to a sporting goods store in Torrington, CT in 1930.
I did the dirty work of this project back in 2019. I have since gone in a different direction and am interested in finding someone who wants to take the project on.
What's happened so far:
+ stripped varnish
+ removed old rusty hardware
+ de-fiberglassed and sanded trouble spots
+ removed in and outwales, stem, seatposts
+ milled new 5/32" western red cedar planking
+ milled new center piece
+ milled gunnels
+ rough ribstock
+ roughed-out white oak stems
+ purchased canvas, paint, filler, various hardware (tacks, ringnails, brass screws, stem bands).
^All conveys with sale
The boat's in a fragile state and would need a trailer to transport, and/or be temporarily supported for transport.
All purchased/milled material (listed above, invoice of some of the materials in photos) will convey with the sale. I am pricing the canoe only to be compensated for all of my purchased materials.
