My wife and I currently reside in North Carolina. At a very early age my parents were dragging us kids up to float the Buffalo National River in Arkansas. After 35 years, I was able to go back and float it again a few months ago. Still love that place!! After the trip to the Buffalo and a stop at Morelys Canoes in Swan Lake, MT, I decided that I wanted to build my own canoe. So I am in the planning stages of that project. During some of the research I stumbled across this page....so here I am.
