 Rating:  - Good practical informationI find Gilpatrick's book to be very informative and well worth picking up if you are thinking about building a cedar strip canoe. The designs of canoes in this book are all about function and few frills. Even so, the canoe's shown are beautiful. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more information and tips about cutting out the forms. Another item that could be improved is the photography (or maybe the printing) All of the photo's are black and white and a bit grainy so they do not ...

It saw the water one time and is now hanging as a static display in a Health Spa in Door County Wisconsin.

I've bounced it down rocky rivers and used it for many trips to the BWCA and Quetico and it has served admirably. If you wish to ... Read More Rating: - best choiceThis is an excellent book. It includes patterns as well and easy instructions. Rating:  - Not worth the money or readThis is a great book to learn how to build a half-way canoe. This is poorly done and offers building instruction that will leave you with an inferior boat. The best option is to buy Canoecraft...Canoecraft has everything you need to build a canoe and even includes plans and lofting directions. However many of the techniques described in this book are easier than those in canoecraft. But when you are out on the water you don't want to be worrying about if your boat is gonna hold together or not ... Read More
