Barn find-might be good, might be so so

[Robin]

Almost finished with the Farber today, put the stem bands on, needs a little touch up with some varnish. Nice canoe, 15', 32 1/4" wide at the gunnels, 13 1/4" deep from the top of the plank to a board laying across the top of the gunnels. Under 60lbs with the #12 canvas. Good wood canvas solo tripper if your into wood.







I got the stem bands on the Chum also, a big day for me...Happy 4th.



my old Chum next to the newer Chum,



I feel like a very rich person with these 3 canoes, life is good.

Yes that is very Huronish and I know for a fact they make decent solos. I also happen to have one. My only issue with it is being a bit heavy for an old lady to lug around on portages. Other than that I like it fine.

It is yellow though.....all canoes should be green.

They look great, Robin. The newer Chum looks much narrower than the older one. I remember we measured them, but don't remember what the difference was. I have to admit, they do look nice and clean without the keel!!!

 

[Yohawk]

I think mine might do better with the keel off!

 

[Robin]

I would go without, you can always put it on later.

Robin - Beautiful work; as always. Thanks for sharing your talents with the canoeing world. I'd be shocked if you don't sell it at the WCHA event.

That's all for now. Take care and until next time....be well.

Those are looking good, I like the Faber too. Your setup will attract much attention I'm sure. Nice old tent, pot of coffee, fine old canoes...
