A large part of my work is the restoration of old canoes and small boats,
especially wood and canvas and lapstrake models. Past projects have included
Old Town canoes, Chestnut, Penn Yan, Kennebecks, Morris, Boston area canoe
companies, Rangleys, St Lawrence skiffs, Novi lobster boats, runabouts,
Rushtons, Adirondack guideboats, dorys, skiffs, and dinghys. I find that most
of the boats and canoes that I work on are restored for sentimental reasons -
they have been passed down in families from past generations.
I will also buy these "old" craft and sell then in restored condition or in
original condition to a person who wants to do the restoration work themselves.
