These may be the plans for the boat. I have detailed building instructions that were provided.

Well i got most of the twist out of it . I would not call it fair, but i pulled it in at one point 5 inches. I took my detail tool and cut the inwale free of fasteners and dropped it about an inch. Probably did 50 laps around the boat checking on things. Just about out of oak but glued up the...

I got her flipped and I have some problems. As you can see by the inwales the old girl has settled and my fair curve has disappeared. I'll have to noodle on that a bit. some water and steam plus some station molds should get her back.

I replaced the original transom using the old one as a pattern. I left it uncut for the motor because i'm not sure if I am using a SS or LS . I doweled together two pieces of ash and used epoxy and nails to attach. My plan is to at least have the hull glassed by the fall. I started this project...

Getting back to this project after a long time. Had to saw some thin planking out of cedar and patch some rot but overall the canoe has come through without much more damage than when I started a few years ago. The bottom had a little oil canning and i used a jack from the inside to fix most of...

Served a dual purpose of ballast to a heavy high headed decoy and space saving room in a boat or gunny sack. I have a rig from the late 1980s that were all fitted with swing keels and floated well. Mine swung from front to back rather than side to side. I thought they represented a swimming...

Finished up 16 Widgeon. These were the Herters fat jaw style I got from Dave D. Went on 63 puddler bodies that were restle coated. I flocked the heads to add some texture before top coat. First hens of this species I have painted ever so pretty much winged it.

hi craig, i am always on the lookout for those boats and thought i would pass it along. mine goes to work every year.

I noticed the puff in that timber hunt also. Back in the day we would shoot AA Super Pigeon 7 1/2 live bird flyer loads in the timber and crush em. Today Boss # 5 shorties work very well.

i had one and like others said ,it was historical and that part was fun but it did not fit the times. I was hunting at a club and the owner was afraid someone would steal it and he asked me not to bring it back. you should try it for yourself and if you dont like it you wont lose money on it.
