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:

Canvass is on the Old Town, though I'm starting to think that this may not really be an Old Town, even though everything about it says "Old town". The real problem is that there is no serial number, no trace of the decal on the bow deck, and there are hex bolts instead of diamond head carriage bolts being used for the seats and thwarts.
