Two Wood Strip Wee Lassies (FINISHED)

[woodystrack]

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!

Here is my original Post from a few months back, explaining the back story on these two beautiful canoes:
>>>>>>
"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 during the first weekend of August this year!
Check out my blog i've started so that people can view the building process and keep up with their progress."

Wes, to answer your question; Yes the canoes are still up at Tim's shop.
He should even have some tickets to sell if you're interested. You can probably get Tom to take you by there and show them to you beforehand if you want...

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 canoe was live-auctioned off, and went for a whopping $3,500!! thank you to the gentleman who bought it, and to all those who bid on it!

Til next time... Float On!
