That is a unique pattern. What is the construction method?

Hopefully someone will recognize the floor pattern but otherwise there just isn't much to go on. I can't even tell if that floor pattern magic marker or if it's the actual material making that pattern.

It is wood in a woven pattern… odd indeed .. which is why i got excited when i first saw it … very odd… some old boy will know..

 

[Alan Gage]

Any idea what the exterior of the hull is made from? Does the exterior share the same pattern as the interior?

Good questions

All goid questions i will ask.

While you're asking width and length would be good to know as well. And more pictures showing different parts of the hull.

Maybe also check if there are any visible fasteners in that herringbone weave - are there ends of clinched over tacks on the inside?

My guess is that this was someone's experiment with building an alternative skin-on-frame style canoe. It does not look like any manufactured canoe that I have ever seen before. More pictures and details will help as others have mentioned.

Well if Benson doesn’t know……holy moly!
Will be interesting if anyone can help ID it as it certainly is beautiful. Maybe contact Canadian Canoe Museum?
More pics would be great.
