Let's hope you don't have to find out.

No matter how good your cedar looks on land, Stratton's will look a lot better than yours in the water.

Ha ha, that's funny. On the other hand, I would rather live in yours than Stratton's. :laughing:

Great job Stratton. You too, MotorSeven.

Strat, I've been working with cedar almost every day since last summer....I just don't think mine will float

There's 300+ 6x6x8' Eastern Red cedar logs it is so far.

It would float, but you'll need alot of water.
You have built something really great. Did you saw the cdr?Its very similar to something I have in mind for a room addition.Ill use pine , I don't have that amount of cdr on my land.

What's the latest on this canoe? I'd imagine by now you have pictures of your little helper holding a fish while sitting in the canoe out on the lake.

Sorry i havent been on much. I had to put the canoe on the back burner for a while. I am just now getting back into it. I have my epoxy and fiberglass ready to go. I just need a few days to free up so i can apply it. I will add a picture from last night. It shows how the wood should look when the epoxy is on. I wet the hull to look for glue spots. So far I live the colors that i see.
