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:

Another Nova Craft gunnel replacement.  I used the typical Nova Craft approach of the outer gunnel overlapping the inner.  I also sealed the inner faces to help protect against rot.  Every bit helps.

Yet another perfect example as to why dry storage is the best thing for your canoe.  This one lived outside all year long.
