Building your own canoe

After reading the stirring quote from Goethe that is the epigram to this site, you'll want to read all about how the author constructed his own Selway Fisher canoe. If you want to tackle this project yourself, you'll have to first order the plans from Selway Fisher (a link to the company's site is provided), but once you're ready to get underway, having this avid paddler's advice on the prepwork, stitching, gluing, and more will make the project much easier and more enjoyable. Even if backyard canoe building isn't for you, the writing is easygoing and conversational--it's fun just to watch the project develop page by page. A fun site to check out as you contemplate next spring's canoe outings.
