5' wood canvas canoe

[Robin]

I stopped at George's River Canoe in Warren, Maine to pick up a thwart Bruce made me for a JR Robinson that I'm restoring and he showed me this little wood canvas canoe he built.
It's completely accurate, he built an form with lines taken from an BN Morris canoe iirc, #12 canvas, steamed ribs and planking tacked to the ribs, curved decks and gunnels and a beautiful paint with a gold accent to finish her up, even miniature brass stem bands and hand canned seats.
A real work of art, he has two finished and plans to make 3-4 more.
$2500

Outstanding! Really a piece of art. Even if you are not into wood and canvas canoes, he have to admire the craftsmanship. Do you know if he has a buyer for the canoe ?

I have seen them and they are well done. Reach out to him if you are interested, he does build them on a regular basis. If you can’t find him from the shop name Robin said above I’ll gladly give you his number via dm.

Bruce does nice work and the first link below has his contact information. A similar Old Town model from the early 1900s with a few flaws just sold today for a $33K hammer price as shown at the second link. The other links show similar model canoes available from a variety of builders.
