    A canoe seat can be the most important thing in a canoe ! It holds nearly all your weight. It needs to be comfortable, for both paddlers, in a tandem, as well as a solo. It not ! The canoe will sit on the rack more often, than on the water ! I see a lot of beautifully built Cedar strip...

    Feathering Fiberglass.

    You gotta love the carbide scrapers for feathering Bias strips and extra layers over the foot ball. The little cloth fibers feather easily. Purdy makes the one I use lately. It is wide with a gentle curve. Stays sharp too. The white weave ends disappear, when sanded and varnished. Can you...
