Was a skin on frame construction excluded ? Let me say, as the skin you would use a type of wood that I have in mind that I won't post here.

Very nice job. And I like the accent piece in the bow. Can't wait to here how she feel after your trip.

Here is the one we usualy go fishing in. It is 14' 6" X 28" at the chines. My 11( now 12 ) year old son will stand in the front and cast while I paddle. So I put some heavy floor boards in for ballast, as stable platform to cast from, sit on, and keep the seat of your shorts dry. And when you...

Ok. Here she is getting wet.

I can't remember where the artical was, but I just read where a man is using fishing line tied to the molds and pulled around and attached to the strongback to apply presure, in multiple locations. This allows him to continue adding strips then line, strips then line, strips then line, etc...

Yes, this is true. As well as establishing water safty, load limits, and advising for a regular inspections. The recording of measurements, molds, strong backs, and detailed stems are great. Every thing you need is here for the adverage builder to be able to reproduce a time tested and straight...

Well maybe they don't call them pirogues, but I don't think you could tell a cajun it wasn't. I found this link a few years ago and thought I would share. http://www.fao.org/docrep/field/003/L3251E/L3251E11.htm Looks to me like you wouldn't have any problem using ply and epoxy in the...

Nice work, I like that look. Even that figuar head on the stem . Do the wings open when you get up to speed ? I can't wait to hear how well that oak holds up next year. Is that the stuff with the thicker inner core ?

That 3 ply (5 ply) stuff from Home Depot ... I used it on a pirouge I built last year. I just got through sanding all the paint and primer off. Above the water line, but below the rail I found a few places where I apparently had not gotten sufficant saturation. It started to decay and weaken...

In the Heart of Dixie. Montgomery, Alabama. On the corner of Congressman Charles Dickerson Blv. and Coliseum Blv. Most of the time you just see some empty horses out front.

Naw, this one won't even get any sea trials. It was off the horses and to display at 'Jerry's Bait and Tackle', had too many people asking, "when was that guy gona put another one of those boats up for sale." So I guess you would say, "aw CHIP !!!" But it gets me my cost back. and the momma...

Finshed - March 31, 2010. 15' 4" LOA. - 24" beam at chines - 30" beam at rails. The sides are at 12.5 deg. ( from plumb ) thats 77.5 for those work from the flat - 0. Poplar frames, seats, and stems. Clear pine brest hooks and gunnals. And yep ... it's 5.2mm luan. Outside of hull is finished...

I understand. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm sure you have more completed than I have. I try for 1 a year as well, I'm only on #5, if we don't count the first one, what a tub, or the one 4' long one for my dads' viking funeral. (see-Anoyher new pirogue builder... by Nismoron. for the...

I'm not one to get between a couple of buddies, or what your personal price list might be, but I get my goodies from US Composites. You ought to check em out. If you haven't already. I have gotten the E-glass in; 6oz. X 60, the 4oz. X 38. and the 10oz. x 60.A couple of rolls of tape in 2" and...

If you realy want both inner chines and the ribs, and if you do by some chance notch the ribs and are concerned about strength you could always add a pair of gussets on each side of the frame to sure it all up. Then fill the open spot between the gussets, and on top of the frame with a small...

Hello every body, I'm Tommy. I am new to your fourm, although I have followed you guys for a while. ( sounds like an AA intro. ) Native Louisiannian my dad, (God rest) use to build his own pirogues for many years, (as did my grand pa ) which I got to help with in my teens. Now I have also been...
