Just beautiful work! You'll love paddling this one! Just don't let the misses use it!

Didn't know there were any strippers on your site Matt.

I built one Wee Lassy canoe before Christmas to give to my wife and I am working on my canoe now.

Great looking boat I like how you did the bottom looks a bit easier than twisting the strips.

We are having great weather right now for epoxy work. Highs in the mid 80's. Put the second coat of epoxy on the deck tonight and if the weather holds I should be able to fasten the deck to the hull by Sunday. It is getting closer to being finished slowly but surely. The cool weather has been killing me for the last few weeks, too cool to epoxy. It is not supposed to be this cool in central Texas in March.

Matt,
How about some strip plans for a pack canoe? Ruston type canoe I am kind of partial to this type of canoe because I have a camp on the Raquette River 13mi from Canton NY. Ruston's home

Well I was going to take my strong back down this weekend. Just glassed the inside of the one I am currently doing got to fit the rails etc. Possibly I could find a temporary home for the strong back and start one in a month or two.
