Ha ha, cheers, Tom!
Wow, I'd seen your launch images before but those making of shots are fantastic.
Since you first showed us the canoe launch I've really had my heart set on doing it too. I have been researching this(mostly internet and Discovery channel,
) for some time now and all I'm in need of is a place to build, being that I live in a flat on the second floor I have no workshop/garage. Apparently, a canoe of this nature, and to an experienced woodworker, could be built in a matter of 30-40 man hours! I feel that I'd need a fair bit longer than that
but, it would give me the greatest sense of achievement, to be sitting on the river in something I'd actually built.
I'll build my canoe, some day...
Thanks for the inspiration, Tom!
(By the way, did you do your own weaving, I can't see any photos of it.)
EDIT: Found the seat caning shot... Nicely done!
