Canvas off!

And onto the usual stem repairs...pretty soon I have to sand the interior and get that vanished. This canoe would have benefited from stripping the old varnish, now a deep chocolate brown, and re-varnishing. Due to budget constraints, the owner is single and in her '80's! that isn't going to happen during this restoration, nut will be left to future generations to undertake.
