Unbeliable woodwork. beautiful colors.Truly a thing of beauty. Being from Texas we only can use metal canoes, because of all the rocky rivers.I envy the northerners who can use these in still waters. One question is the fiberglass cloth seen after putting it on? How many hours to finish. I remember a disney movie where the mother went away for the summer. The Dad and son made a conoe in the living room only to have Mom come home early to surprise them. I've always told my wife that if she went away we'd make a conue in the house. Dan Happy sailing.
