Thanks bcelect...thing is I already spent time making the seat...your typical canoe seat that I will web myself after I stain it. It going to be pretty nice I think so I would like to use it. Nice job Jim...that gorgeous! Also...thing is I already bought my yoke from Teal. Ideally I would like...

I have an empty tandem canoe that I would like to make solo and add the following to: one seat, a portage yoke and a kneeling bench. I would like the seat as close to the middle as possible but I would also like to make the portage yoke a permanent item and not have to remove it every time I...

No Title Gunnels have been mounted to canoe hull. Now to install seat, portage yoke and kneeling thwart. Thanks for all your advice and help. I learned a lot. In the meantime, I conducted a little experiment about the "penetrating" oils. I'll try to post pics but don't have a lot of luck with...

7 canoes, 1 kayak.

Sounds great. Good to know there's a limit on the # of people. Is it always the second Saturday in June or not necessarily?

Three trout?

Re theyummylife...Interesting. So you assemble yourself? You use ziplocks? Cost-wise, is it less expensive than Mountain House et al?

That great. I guess it has grown over the years too, correct? If I bring my kids, they wont be the only ones their age will they? They young teenagers.

Great story Boreal. Thx!...I would love to catch some Graylings. Didn't know you didn't have Brookies by you. Figured you had it all. Do you have Rainbows and Browns? Probably not Browns, right?

It depends on the type of "tripping." If tripping with portages, then I'm in a centralized seat in one of my solo boats (Argosy, Pack, a Sojourn). If no portages, then I am likely loading the heck out of my Mohawk Intrepid and sitting in the bow seat with the canoe turned around...or using the...

Hey pblanc...after you've waited a few days, do you give the gunnels a light sanding before applying more Watco Teak?

Great report! Thx for sharing...

Great. From what I see so far it looks like the new ash has absorbed the oil well. Plenty of chores to do around here in the meantime so maybe I'll wait a little and apply additional coats tomorrow or the next day. Sure am anxious to get the gunnels installed but I know it worth the wait. Thx...

Glad you like the photo BB...not too many things better than trout fishing on a freshwater stream. I tried to post other pictures but I not too swift when it comes to attaching things here. You the first person I ever communicated with from Alaska! Hope to make it to your neck of the woods...

Great observation latremorej...I don't see the point of a canoe anyway if you can't get beer in it. Haha. Just kidding. I didn't get greedy...took it in 3/4in on each side. At this point my gunnels are just about ready for installation. I am going to rely solely on Watco Teak for preserving...

Exactly...and if I was fortunate enough to join you guys, I'd bring the harmonica! Can't guarantee it would sound like music though :o Good times LOL

That's awesome! Enjoy! If you see him packing his banjo though...just make sure you sleep with one eye open ;)

Oh, I'm excited now LOL. Won't get greedy, maybe an inch. Thx Mike!

Trust me!...anyone who decides to join Coldfeet to Algonquin will have the time of their lives! :D:cool::D:cool: I was invited to go and normally would never pass up on an opportunity like this, especially with him, but unfortunately I cannot make it this one :(. He a trusted companion on and...

Poor canoe.
