Wooden Canoes in Muskoka

[Murat V]

There's a short segment on wood canvas canoes in the following video. It showcases a young canoe builder / restorer working out of Dwight, Ontario, Brian Cook of Cook Craft Canoe Co. Some neat shots of his shop and work in progress

Haha!
Nice catch Murat.

Great video- Brian has even better stuff on his website.

Tumblehome

Tumblehome features a hand built, ornate wooden canoe being sailed whilst the canoeist plays ethereal music on a hand built lyre — music that is used directly as the score.

Thanks Murat, I just got home from picking up some material from my local canoe shop (George’s River Canoe), something about a wood canvas canoe shop that makes me feel they will always be around. I have heard good things about Brian Cooks work.
