We can always go cherry out and spruce in but that is cheating, no?
Robin is not much further away than I...
Not really cheating, standard Merrimack configuration is Cherry out and Ash in.

Ash on the inwale?? I've not heard of that but that is interesting.
For steaming on the boat we use a length of RV waste hose. Slip it down the rail, hook up to steamer, rag in the far in as best as possible, can then heat and slide it slowly off as you bend the rail into place, keeping the heat on the as yet unbent portion. Works well.
We will be doing a gunwale steam bending demo at the WCHA Assembly on Friday using the plastic bag method. Come one, come all.
Well I hence would have a packing dilemma.. We already are taking two boats for the Tom MacKenzie tribute and a travel trailer. We do have a canoe trailer but to tandem THAT to the trailer is not legal and the Champlain Ferry would be some $65 each wayThere ya go, Kim. Buy the old Merrimack, take it to the WCHA, and let them use it in steam bending demo. Can't get any easier than that.

This one I'm sure will have a happy ending. The canoe was bought and is headed to Crossville, TN to be restored by Randy Pew, It was either Randy or his Dad that built it in the first place.
