Cedar-Strip Canoe Plans

[Billy]

I had an idea it would get the brain matter going.

I just wish I had the time and a partner who understood that a man needs to have a project.

If I may throw few thoughts...
I am professional carpenter and cabinet maker (I started as boat builder though and did it for over ten yrs)
So my advise is: instead cedar go for larch or douglas fir. Only thing is choose planks carefully - no knots. You will save up loads of money and effect will be stunning. For more demanding I would suggest adding layer of thin fibre glass and epoxy resin. It will strengthen whole boat incredibly.
If you have any questions do not hesitate. I will help as much as I can
