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:

I hosted the local Scout/Venture group for a paddle making workshop last weekend. The kids worked hard and steady (for their age). the each made pretty good progress on a pine paddle. Pine was chosen for its easy workability with hand tools.

There is still quite a bit to do and we will be having more session, but not full days like this.
