Stripper or Wood Canvas?

[Mihun09]

I picked up the beat and cove router bits at Lee Valley. I always have decks, although I don't climb on them, but wasn't going to put "tanks" in that stripper but Christine, whose boat it is, wanted them. They do take up useable space. I picked up a 13" thickness planer last year off Kijiji, which is similiar to Craig's List, for half price and it was new and unused. It gets a healthy workout now with all the boats I am working on.

For more "Traditional" style canoes, especially in the Chestnut wood canvas canoe company's models, these folks sell plans.http://www.carryingplacecanoeworks.on.ca/html/strip.html

His 16 ft Prospector plans come from a real Chestnut Prospector, and the Jack's Special (15' Tandem)is taken from a Chestnut Chum, which is my favorite tripping canoe in wood canvas.
