EM White Square Stern Canoe

Here are some pictures of the EM White square stern canoe under going restoration in our shop.  The first shows the 15 inch wide maple deck steam bent on the bending jig.


Once the deck has dried on the jig, it is removed, shaped to fit, and installed.


15 ribs were replaced.  8 in a row are shown here.


The planking is beveled and each strake over laps the adjoining plank.


The new plank is shaped and the bevel is cut along the edge.


The structural work on the hull is complete.  15 new ribs, the bow has been reconstructed, new inner gunwales, etc
