Wood strip canoe construction

I love the adventure and experience of canoe camping. Packing food and camping gear into a canoe and paddling to a wilderness campsite. No motors are allowed in the park, fishing is great and the solitude and scenery become addicting.

If you want to get a little rowdy sometimes, but they're only into the mellow contemplative stuff, then you just have to let it go. That's what your other friends are for.

Morri s. These construction plans come with full-size paper patterns that eliminate the complicated steps of lofting and mold pattern development. Working carefully from these plans, many amateur builders have built very accurate canoe forms for building their own canoes.
