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 me by email, phone, or by post. My mailing address is:

The tips of the gunnels take a lot of wear and tear, so I put these brass gunnel tip protectors on. I start by cutting the brass plate to the correct dimension, round the corners, the clean up the edges. Then a bend needs to be made, and the screw holes drilled.


Finished and ready to install on the canoe...


...and this is how the look on the canoe.
