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:

Got my Panormo guitar finished last week, too. I've wanted to build one of these for years. It was worth the wait. This is a fun little guitar to play. Small body and short scale, but not a small sound! Good tone and plenty of volume. Different sound from a modern guitar, or anything built in the Torres tradition, but that's why I built it.
