1910 canvas canoe;

I was given this canoe if I want it. I did a little , very little research, and found some great info on restoration of canoes. My interest were sparked so it will be coming home with me next weekend when I pick Jacob up at school.

The horses on the farm did a little nibbling damage to the wood and the canvas is deteriorated but I think I will have a sweet canoe when I finish this project. I will be putting it up for sale.

That's very cool!! My college advisor had a few, very neat boats. Definitely sounds like a more fun project than I'm working on this summer...
 
MD:

That is a cool project. Look forward to the end result.

As for me, the summmer project is to fish at least 25 days. One down, 24 to go.
 
Darn thing is would probably be worth a small fortune to an Abercrombie clothing store to hang in its store. I would try to be as authentic as possible with the restore.
 
Thats a cool project if your into that kindof stuff.... Me, I would buy a new one.

Good luck, and keep us in the building proccess with pics !!!
 
Moose I'll hold a reserve for you LOL

TheTone, I will give A&F a call sometime alone the way.

Big Fin, The 29th I leave for my 1st Salmon tournament on Eire of the 4 for the summer.

I've spoken to my sons and asked them if they would like n on the project. It will be a good learning experiences for them.
