accosted by a wooden canoe
Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2011 4:59 am
I took my Trapper up to the Murray River for the Cup Weekend, only had time for 1 paddle, about 90 min up stream, and 15 min down stream. Sat in the front facing the other way and used a doubble paddle going up. I had to paddle backwards a few times because of the wind. I enjoyed it.
Anyway, the main reason for the post is that I got accosted on the way home by a guy wanting to sell me a wooden canoe.... turns out it is a canadian built"strip" job, about 3 inch strips at maybe 45 degrees, with the inside layers running on the other diagonal. A beautifull finish, just needing a couple of strips re glued. Dod I say it had cane seats, and a very round bottom.
What would something like that be worth ?
Cheers
