An excellent definitive book ... something you must read if you are going to build a woodstrip canoe., If you have dreamed of building your own canoe you will want to check out Ted Moores' book Canoecraft... The informative text is complemented by numerous colour and black and white photographs along with illustrations and tables., If you are planning to build a canoe or just want to learn about how to do it, buy this book. I think I need to say that again. Buy this book. This is the ultimate book about building wood strip canoes, plus it has the lines and offsets for the Freedom 17 included in the book. This boat is one of the best for wilderness tripping. The plans are worth more than the book itself., If you want to build a strip-plank canoe -- or kayak -- Canoecraft is the book to buy... All in all a very comprehensive boatbuilding book and highly recommended., (review of previous edition) Canoecraft is a book every hobbyist will want. As the world gets filled with more and more mass produced, plastic everything, there is a growing interest in and demand for beautiful, handcrafted, wooden articles... In Canoecraft he shows how anyone can build a cedar strip canoe using a minimum number of carpentry tools and woodworking skills. He starts the book with a history of canoes, considers shape and function, and provides the plans for seven designs. The construction portion of the book covers producing the strips, setting up the mould frames, building the hull, and adding the trim. The final chapter covers finishing the canoe and maintenance and repair. Canoecraft is well illustrated and clearly written. The directions instill confidence in the reader and would-be builder. The author feels that with this book a fourteen-year-old could produce a beautiful canoe. It is a step-by-step guide to building an uncomplicated classic canoe and should be in the collection of every woodworker and in every high school and public library., Will show you how to build a beautiful, modern canoe that can be built by anyone with a minimum of woodworking skills.
