    Wenonah WW1 ...?

    I will try and buy it, but I work the next 5 days, 12 hr shifts. It would be hard to go wrong at the price.

    Old Town Penobscot 17

    I have heard good things about the Penobscot 16. Soon I will try out this 17.

    Wenonah WW1 ...?

    Here are a few pictures from the seller. Some pretty rough patches. The canoe is about 1.5 hours from me. I am not sure I can make it out there for a few days.

    I hope you painted it! Edit: actually it is kind of cool. It tells the story of the canoe.

    Thanks Allen. I may have to buy this thing. I didn't think it would last this long on the face page.

    Old Town Penobscot 17

    Decent weather and some free time so I did a little cleaning on the Penobscot. Lots of overspray on one side. I haven't decided how far I am going to take this restoration. I may just leave it for now. I haven't paddled this canoe yet.

    This thing is still available. I have never had a solo. Would this be stable enough to bring a small dog along?

    "Drag-ability" of hull material over rocks in river beds and on portages

    This series is a pretty good demonstration of the abuse Novacraft Tuff stuff can take.

    Lol, now Allen's comment about onions in my BPS knife thread makes sense!

    BPS Knives

    I have not yet used the BPS or Mora for food prep. Theoretically a flat or even a hollow grind would work better as a kitchen knife. I picked them up to try the Scandinavian grind. I have done a little whittling and harvested some fatwood with the BPS. BPS has a large variety of styles available...

    It is hard to beat the value of a Morakniv.

    BPS Knives

    I picked up a knife from BPS Knives last year. I purchased a BS 3 model, mainly because I wanted to try a Scandinavian grind. It is very similar to a Mora Companion. My friend just picked up an HK 4 in D2 steel. It is a great looking knife. These are great knives, especially for the price...

    Re-webbing Canoe Seats?

    I am going to replace the cane with webbing on my project Penobscot. It seams that most people go with polypropylene in either 1 or 1-1/2 inch width. @gyork thank you for the slide show. Any recommendations for width of webbing? Is polypropylene the best material?
