" THE SHOW MUST GO ON "

A little paddle in a the warm late afternoon slanted rays on my pond in South Stukely

This gorgeous cedar strip canoe was a gift I received from my Francine my x wife and best friends a few years back.

The Canoe is a work of art. You are not Canadian if you have not made love in a cedar strip. I am pure unadulterated ...

The bow and stern decks are made of African Lace Wood.

Also have the matching lace wood paddle. The Bow & Stern seats are made of rosewood as are the thwarts ...

The planking and canvas are nailed with 3500 brass tacks..

The big question Red or Green ... My first instinct was red,after a month long internal debate ... I settled with green . Listened impulsively to the little voice inside...

I am glad I did. It just blends in with nature. Oh yeah 27 coats of varnish adorn that forest green paint. My pride and joy.
