I emailed with Steve just a few weeks ago and he told me he was no longer making or restoring canoes. I have two Chestnuts that he restored, a Prospector and a PAL. He is an excellent craftsman and these canoes are simply beautiful. And he’s a nice guy. Visited his tiny shop — a shed really — last year. He was working on a courting canoe at the time. The space was tight but he had it laid out nicely and I could imagine him moving gracefully from one task to another.
