Yer idea sounds to me to be the answer, Mick, but it's gonna have to be my daughter's call. Seedtick is right. She wants something unique. She's always been one to try to set herself apart in ev'rything while doin' her dangdest to downplay it. Won't lie to ya, sometimes she scares the...

Seedtick, Appreciate the invite. Just may take you up on that. Been thinking it's about time to visit that cousin of mine in Ponch, anyway... (she'd shoot me and leave me tied to concrete if she finds out it's just an excuse for a wood buying expedition.... :wink: ) I do love the...

Seedtick, my friend! I agree with Jack. Would love to check the feel out. That sure does look good. I think I'll show Sheena your pictures and the ones I saw on here of Sparkey's redwood pirouge. Maybe I can get her down to one wood instead of three. I doubt it but it's worth a...

Yeah, Jack. I do know what ya mean. Seems everybody has an opinion on why NOT to start building on this one for my daughter. Saying to just go out and buy a good aluminum. Well, I figure when they see this one, when we're done, they'll ALMOST consider revising their thinking. (Can't...

Just one question, Jack... How'd I go from asking fofr advise on which three woods would loko good together on a canoe to dang near (cough, cough)braggin' on Miss-20-on-a-scale-of-one-to-ten? :lol:

Jack, PLEEEAAAASE! Don't get me started on the grandkids..... Love all eleven of 'em.... :oops: ....gotta feelin' I'm gonna be building for everyone but me when they get old enough to handle a paddle... :wink: :D :shock: But me baby girl, Sheen, dat's my heart'n'soul fo' sho'. Guess...

Seedtick, like the look.... You know a good supplier? What I'm able to get here has so many holes it'd take about three times footage to get enough...but then the final wood choice is gonna be Sheena's...after all it's gonna be her 'noe when its done. Y'guys think I may be spoilin' her...

Yeah, Jack.... I had originally intended to build with cedar... but Miss-20-on-a-scale-of-1-to-10 got REAL adamant :? about wanting somethin' that would look like a whole lot more. So, all that cedar I got is going to go to a 20 footer after I get through with helping her on this one. Dang...

That's why I still live here.. :D Wish i could get my hands on some rosewood though, that ought t'make a beautiful 'noe..

Thanks for the info, Jack. I'll drop a line to both, tonight. Thinking about mahogany for one of the three but don't know yet. By the way, piper...we must've run in the same pack somewhere...I knew her, too.

My daughter and I are getting ready to build a strip canoe for a spring break trip on river. No. 1 : What would be a good three wood choice for a great looking canoe? No. 2 : Are there any tricky joinery problems we will need to watch out for? Me, I was planning on strictly a cedar...
