What you don't want to see when you look in the bottom of your canoe. Dave's building form was good for clamping strips of wood together but not so good for being able to wipe up excess glue before it dried. I'll remove the larger chunks with chisels and then sand the rest. This might take awhile.
Michael Thomsen of Tecumseh, Michigan built his first canoe because he wanted a small, easily handled boat to fish from. It turned out so nice he knew he had to build more. “Canoe Mike” has now retired from his day job as an electrician and devotes all his time to building boats and paddles. He makes wooden canoes using the wood strip and fiberglass method. He buys the caned seats and brass hardware for the boats, but hand makes all the other components of the boat. He also makes wooden canoe and kayak paddles.
