Shop Updates 9-26-2011

We have started the restorations for the upcoming fall and winter.  These will get pushed along and then we will start a crop of new canoes and roll into the winter canoe building classes.  Here is what the outside of the shop looked like the other day......


......here is the inside........


.......and here are some of the many projects we will be working on in the following months. This is a 12 foot Old Town Sailing dinghy.  We have done several these sailing dinks before and can't say enough good things about them.  This one will undergo some major work including fabricating the entire sail rig from scratch to the original specs. 



Couldn't resist showing this photo of the painter ring on the dink.  Think it was used much?


Here is a nice pair of Peterborough 15 footers from the same family waiting to be taken apart...............


.............A nice Charles River courting canoe.................


...............And several more including Old Town, Rushton, EM White, an early Temagami, more from the Charles River, etc.

Here are two recently completed restorations.  You will recognize this canoe from an earlier post.  It is a circa 1902/1903 Robertson/Old Town.  Before, after, and completed.
