I'm in the middle of a nice visit with Preston Parsons prior to his departure to England. He brough over a couple of nice photos. The first is of "The Peterborough" with some rain. The second is of "Courage" out on the water. Both photos were taken by Preston during Homecoming Weekend earlier in September

These photos of the old Peterborough canoe are out of sequence with the last post, but, oh well! The first shows the canvas and filler ready for paint. The new gunnels are on and all varnished. I managed to find some old sproce gunnel stock in the rafters of the new shop building that were ideal for this canoe, though I did have to reduce them a little to achive the correct dimension and shape.

A new Peterborough Canoe Co. bow decal really sets of the new deck The new deck is in cherry, the originals were usually maple.

All done escept for the seat weaving which will be done before delivery to camp.
