So a couple of summers ago I replaced my cedar deck that had seen about 20 years of use (with a new cedar deck of course, no composite for me) and I stacked the old boards up thinking that I should attempt to make a canoe out of them. Well, I've decided this is the year - if it will work. Tonight I took one of the boards, cut it into strips and played around with the router making a few bead and cove cuts and it looks like it will do. I know it won't look the best but I kinda like knots anyway. I do wonder if when I begin tacking them on the form and bending them if they will be too brittle though. Might be able to give some old cedar new life. Thoughts? Am I crazy?
