Two Vintage Canoe Builds From Cedar Planks

[DUKE NUKEM]

Mr Nukem, you are definitely a man cut from the same cloth as I. If you didnt live on the other side of the world I would be inviting you on trips!

I too canoe, (though alas mine is a fibreglass canadian until I can afford the old town penobscot 174 that I have my eye on....) and shoot (though mine is a marlin 1895G in 45/70) and own a grunsfors bruks (though mine is the scandinavian forest axe).

James.

P.S. Oh, and we are both married to an american! (though mines from PA)

I have to drive about 900 miles to my "favorite lake" in the mountains to canoe. But it's well worth the trip. About 8 years ago several of us did a total immersion 18th century canoe hunt on the Neches river in East Texas. Over in the Boggy slough area (Davy Crockett National Forest). Just south of the Caddo Mounds state historic area (Davis Site). This was the same area that the Natchitoches Trader, Louis Juchereau de St. Denis as well as the Spanish military inspector The Marquis de Rubi traveled thru way back in the day! Only thing was our canoes were a bit on the modern side....

I'm almost ready to start on these. Right now I need to finish the 14 foot dinner table build. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?51766-The-Table-Of-Anguish
Renault, you and James should stop by for dinner if your ever in our neck of the woods.
