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 haven't been posting much as I've been busy with paddle making. Many of the steps are pretty much the same as I've posted before, so I'm only showing what is interesting and new.

Rest assured that there has been lots of sanding going on. Lots and lots of sanding...

But now I'm varnishing!

I walked into the shop the other morning and the spring sunshine was pouring in nicely.

Very pretty Doug!

I need to make some more paddles soon, double-paddles. I'm going to go back and re-read your method for the tips.
