I have an all hand made, epoxy fiberglass over cedar canoe, 13Ft in length. How do I know that it is all hand made because I made it. Over 100 hours goes into one of these canoes, glueing together all the cedar strips one at a time to create the hull, sanding it all down the fiberglassing. And thats only the outside. I made it from plans in a book written by Gil Gilpatrick a Maine shop teacher who has built countless canoes. I will try to post some pics. Oh ya I can't give it away so the price is $900.00

Hey Bill I think adding the picture will help allot.. I think that would be good way for people to see what your offering. Sounds like a bargin at $900.00.



Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was
cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.
On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words,
and some of the words are theirs.
