Robin, I'm thinking of you......I saw an old town canvas canoe for sale in Bolton that I thought you might be interested in. just a heads up. It's cool but my wife might kill me if I got another canoe. Posted 24 minutes ago...

I must resist, I can't start another canoe... He confirmed there are no knots. https://newlondon.craigslist.org/mat/6191464923.html

Robin good looking boat, seems like a good deal. I'd give it a shot but I have too may things getting built in the basement and my wife might shoot me if I brought one more home. https://westernmass.craigslist.org/boa/5948453763.html

I know you this isn't canoe related but thought someone might be interested...free woodstove in northern mass. it's a little too far for me but seems like an incredible deal if you need a good stove .. https://worcester.craigslist.org/zip/5904096305.html

Anyone know if Thayercraft is out of business? Website is down for at least the last two weeks.

What'd you get for Christmas? My only canoe related present was this glue dispenser. It seems to work pretty well. Great control and when you let go of the bulb is sucks the glue back in so no more drips or dried mess at the tip. This is a great idea from this forum. Put a glue holder...

This is really a pretty easy and quick build especially compared to a canoe! So far i have about 3-4 hours into it. The shaft is hollow, made up of 8 staves which you cut a birdsmouth in to aid in alignment and glue up. I tried the birdsmouth thing and didn't like it, although it seems like a...

Has anyone built or paddled this canoe? Thinking I need a solo and this seems like a decent candidate.

Has anybody on this site travelled through the pine barrens and can recommend a good day trip? I'm in Ocean City for the week and looking for a good trip or two that my brother and I can take. I guess it could be anywhere around Ocean City. Thanks in advance!

I've been wanting to build a strip canoe for a long time, for some reason though I got started building kayaks. I've built six Skin on Frame kayaks and one strip kayak. This will be my first canoe, honestly I think it's the builds I've seen here as well as the trip reports that pushed me over...

I'm getting started lofting a Freedom 17 from the Canoecraft book, I understand that I need to subtract the strip thickness from the lofted dimensions. What about the stem forms? If the lofting dimensions represent the final profile of the bow and stern, it seems like I will have to subtract...

I saw this canoe on Craigslist, what do you guys think? It looks like it could be pretty nice if it was fixed up. I've never restored a canvas canoe any estimates to how much it'll cost? http://hartford.craigslist.org/boa/4628772426.html

Memorial Day Weekend 2014 Arrived at Attean Pond around 4PM on Friday. We had a few burgers in the upper parking lot, the lower lot was still closed off because it was early n the season. We were thinking we would camp there and leave early the next morning, we changed our minds and got on...

I'm planning on doing the Moose River Bow loop this year and was wondering how busy it is. We're probably looking at going Memorial day weekend so I'm guessing it'll be fairly busy. Does anybody have any idea what it'll be like? I really want to go as early as possible to avoid the flies but...
