There is something mid-century about this shot. Stratford has always felt hazy and dreamy and outside of time that way ... #ashesbuilt #canoe #canoeing #stratford365 #StratfordON #PaddleON #DiscoverON

Ashes would normally use a matte hull finish but these more traditional hull shapes seem to call out for gloss. Thoughts? #ashesbuilt #canoe #canoeing #woodboat #woodenboat #woodcanoe #woodencanoe #boatshop #woodshop #workshop #boatbuilding #canoecraft #woodcraft

Canoe anatomy 101. You know all those beautiful pre-preg carbon canoes with infused gunnels and micro light weights?

Rich #chocolate stain on an #ashesbuilt solo #canoe ... I can't always know that the cedar sourced for a boat is going to appeal. If a customer is up for it, staining is a reasonable and attractive option. In the case, the gunnels contrast beautifully. #custombuilt #cedarcanoe #boatbuilding #boatshop #woodenboat #woodboat #woodencanoe #woodcanoe
