Friday, September 18, 2009. Finishing Out the Interior (Part Three). Here's a better look at that quarter knee. Presently, Tom is building the stern seat. The slats will be cut to match the sunburst design on the bow seat. Also, he is laminating the knees for the fore and aft center thwarts out of Phillipine Mahogany. The oars arrived from Shaw and Tenney ( http:/ www.shawandtenney.com/. Out of Orono, Maine and they are beautiful. They're 8' flat blade spruce with 10" sewn leathers.

Wood and Canvas Canoe Restoration: November 2009
http://sawtoothboatworks-canoerestoration.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 1, 2009. Our goal was to refurbish the canoe without losing the hard-earned patina that it had developed over the last 46 years.

Wood and Canvas Canoe Restoration: Stripping and Sanding

Sunday, March 14, 2010. When we took on this project, I had envisioned doing a light but thorough sanding of the interior followed by two or three coats of varnish. After sanding a little, I realized that the original varnish was no longer in tact in the area around each of the approximately 1,000 plank/rib clench nails. To assure lasting protection and integrity, it was decided that all of the old varnish would need to be removed. The keel bolts (screws) were very corroded and the wood around them had d...

Wednesday, June 2, 2010. Before stretching the canvas, we had to build two clamps that would hold each end of the folded canvas. These clamps were hung from the ceiling about 17 feet from each other. One of the clamps was connected to a stud in the wall with a chain. The opposite end was connected to a wall with a come-a-long. Posted by Sawtooth Boat Works.
