Black or Natural

These are finished pictures of someone elses Wee Two.
I doctored up his photos to show the two ways that i can finish my canoes hull.

One way is to leave it natural on the inside and outside.



The other is to finish the outside in a solid color(s) and leave the inside natural.



I like the idea of a jet black outer hull, and maybe even a gold pinstripe.

Got any preferences/ suggestions?

Canoe Construction Update!

MORE SUPPLIES HAVE ARRIVED!



I have begun to strip the "turn of the bilge" on the yet to be named WEE TWO CANOE.

A Name For The Canoe

I need a name for my canoe so if anyone can come up with any good ones place them into the comments area below this post.
Aaron came up with "Dirty Oar" and its gonna be tough to beat that i think.
Whatever one i end up going with im gonna paint onto the side.

Wee Two Canoe Construction

Here is Aaron helping me set up the forms for the canoe. He gets real bored sometimes, just add beer.



The forms are all level and plum. The 1400 ft of cedar and 30 ft or so of cherry that will make up the bulk of the boat just arrived from Canada.



Here you can see several strips have been applied to the forms. I arranged some strips into a dark and light striped pattern with inlaid diamonds of very light wood.



Here is a closeup of one of the diamonds. If im lucky it will look half this good when im all done.

View of the Horseshoe Falls from the Canadian side.


Ice forms everywhere from all of the mist coming up from the falls.

Icy Lamp Post.


The curved structures are lights that iluminate the skating rink in Toronto at City Hall. In the background is CN Tower.


This is a view of the whirpool 5 miles downstream from the falls, in the foreground you can see the Spanish Aero Car which will take you across during the summer. That thing is really old and there is no way in hell I would ride across in it.


A couple of butterflies doing the nasty at the Butterfly Conservatory.


This is a view from our hotel room. At night they illuminate the falls with constantly changing colors.
