Well, I finally have some time to get back to posting entries! Only trouble is I have forgotten where I was at in the story, so it took awhile to back track.

There was an interesting request for the Peterborough Lake Queen. This canoe originally belonged to the parents of the present day owner and she wanted to set the canoe up as a working memorial using a little of their cremation ashes. I made a recess in the bottom of the center thwart and sealed everything in with resin.
