Well, the Bazaar was a success this year! One of the canoes was raffled off to girl in her early to mid-20's who went canoeing for the first time in her life about a week before the bazaar... But she seemed very excited to win it and was extremely thankful for us building it! The other Wee Lassie ca...

Some of you may remember my previous posts on two western red cedar stripped one-man canoes in the past few months... Well those two canoes we've been working on are now (finally) finished! :D Here is my original Post from a few months back, explaining the back story on these two beautiful canoes: >...

That's a good lookin strip canoe! Well done, Howard! I'm trying to sell a 16' western red cedar white water rocker canoe I made a few years ago. It's been used more than a dozen times, so it has some battle scars as you can imagine. Still floats great, and I love it, but like you i'd like the money ...

Wanting to sell my wood stripped surfboard, so I can afford more boat-building supplies & tools. It's made of western red cedar, aspen pine, & mahogany. It's hollow on the inside except for the fish skeleton-like wood structure. I've taken it surfing (more like glorified boogie boarding) in ...

There's an update on the Wee Lassie Canoes! Check out my blog for images of the process. We're almost finished with them, and i'll post pics of the finish products when that time comes. Also, still checking on getting raffle tickets printed off very soon so that we can mail them out to those wanting...

Out-of-town Gents,
I will try to find out from the people in charge of ticket sales if there is a way we can get tickets to you peeps who don't live in Central Arkansas.

I'll get back to ya'll when i find out the scoop.

Thanks,

Lucas

Sounds good, Wes!
Yeah, we are building these two just down the road from him.

I'd love to come check out your canoe(s) sometime.

Thanks

We will be selling tickets closer to around the beginning of July i think. 100's of St. Joseph alumni members and people associated with St. Joe school or church will have tickets on hand to sell to whomever they can. So, if you know someone as described above ask them and they should be able to get...

A group of my family & friends are building two wood-strip one-man canoes right now and plan to be done by the end of April. We're donating them to our alma mater, St. Joseph School in Conway, AR. One is to be raffled off and the other is to be auctioned live at their 100th ANNUAL school bazaar ...

Here are two wooden canoe paddles I've made to give to my ole Alma Mater. They will be auctioned off, among other items people have donated, at the 99th Annual St. Joseph School Bazaar in Conway, AR. The bazaar is this weekend August 5th & 6th, but the Silent and Live Auctions will be held on Sa...

Very Nice work!! As a fellow woodworker I'd have to say, for as much work and skill that i'm sure went into making that canoe, that IS a good deal!! If it were my canoe, i'd have to leave the dog home and hit the waters on my own! Well done, Fred. And i commend you for making it to actually use out ...

...and a couple more close ups. My favorite part is the Ash and Mahogany joinery on the handle making it very stout!
