Redwood strip canoe picture

[Marcus Carr]

This is a Redwood strip canoe that I started on about a year ago. The strips are bead and cove routed then glued to eachother over a framework. This photo was taken after the sanding, fiberglass cloth and 4 coats of epoxy resin were added to the exterior of the boat.

Wow...another beautiful project, Marcus!

[Mike Seals]

Stunning, I'm not sure I could put that in the water. I would hang it in the living room. Beautiful.

[Brian Tuftee]

Wow, that looks like glass... amazing finish.

[David Wilson]

Looks great Marcus. What epoxy did you use?

That's a project I have had in mind for years, but have never gotten started--unless you can call buying two or three books on strip canoe construction a start! Congratulations on producing a truly functional piece of art! Time's a-wasting, I guess, so I'd better build my own soon.

Ha, I'm further along than you, I've got books and a couple sets of plans, and cove and grove router bits! Had them for years!:( Some day!:rolleyes:

Beautiful canoe, Marcus. I love that strip built stuff!

[Marcus Carr]

Thank you all =]

The Epoxy came from West Systems.

Hey, Paul, you live (I think) in the same part of WA state where Susan Van Leuven, the author of an excellent book on canoe-building, lives. Have you ever met her, or seen her work? I saw her once down at Woodcrafters in Portland.

I don't think so, I live in the desert part of the state. All the real boat builders live over on the west side, in the Pudget Sound area. I think I have one of her books though.

I agree, I don't think I could put that in the water. Too beautiful!

[Karin Voorhis]

This is not a boat this is a total work of art!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Marcus, that's a beauty! I've been wanting to build a strip canoe. Maybe next year. Very nice!
