The plans have arrived from @ashesstillwaterboats! A modern 17 ft tandem with just enough displacement for tripping light without being oversized for day use. I hope I can live up to the beauty of the lines. . . #ashesstillwaterboats #cedar #cedarcanoe #cedarstripcanoe #woodenboat #woodcanoe

Today I picked up the cedar from @fingerlelumber. Great service over there! The cedar is to be ripped into about 1350 feet 1/4" x apx 11/16" strips to form the hull. I've decided not to mill bead and cove and instead attempt to place a rolling bevel on each strip by hand to fit it to the next. MDF in the background for forms. Almost time to start making sawdust; apx 25% of those boards will be dust, even with a thin kerf blade on the table saw. #ashesstillwaterboats #beadandcove #cedarstripcanoe #cedarcanoe #canoe #paddling #wood #cedar #boatbuilding #rollingbevel #fingerlelumber #cedarcanoe #woodencanoe

Beginning a cedar strip canoe build. Strongback built of the box beam design. A new crosscut sled for the tablesaw with the leftover 3/4 plywood. #ashesstillwaterboats #strongback #canoe #cedarstripcanoe
