Hey everybody! The new camp season is upon us, so its time that new wood canoe stories will be happening and, hopefully, added to this blog.

As for me, I'll be returning to work on MPC's Peterborough soon enough. I have been busy with canoe building and repair steadily since the last entry here.

You can read about the year's work here: http://woodbecreative.blogspot.com/

Part of my recent work is the building of a 13' solo canoe for Jeremiah Heinrichs. I'm sure that may of you will be seeing it around at camp, so while technically speaking it isn't an MPC canoe, it sort will be by association. You can read about the full build on my blog.

Here is Jeremiah burning the nap off of the canvas. He came over to the shop to participate getting the canvas on.

Here is what it looks like now as the trim is being varnished.
