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:

Bob is learning by doing, that all of those ribs need some fairing before the planking can go on, and some linseed oil.




The Boreal has most of the bottom planking one and we're working around to the sides. The ends are left loose until its off of the mold.




The Cruiser with the ribs all faired and coated with linseed oil. She's ready for planking now, too.
