Lots of stuff goes on in this shop, located in Lorette, Manitoba.
Primarily it's the building and repair of classic wood & canvas canoes, and the making of premium canoe paddles. I also do custom boat building, composite fabrication, and special projects. A growing passion of mine is the making of classical guitars, I'll post about that, too.
I want to be able to share with my clients the progress of their commissioned work. Later I started thinking that there might be other people who are interested in what goes on inside a wooden canoe shop operated by an artist and a recovering teacher.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact meby email, phone, or by post. My mailing address is:

There are a number of broken ribs to attend to. Not so badly as to require a rib replacement, a back side rib repair will do fine. Luckily, there are only 4! Not like on the old Chestnut that I just finished.
I won't bore you with another detailed description, just look up the posts on canoe repair, or century chestnut.
The rib ends were getting a little punky, too. Three of them required that the ends be repaired.
