I started this blog when I was restoring a 1917 Kennebec canoe. Now I have added to my boat building adventures, and built a kayak. I also have pages about birds and astronomy.

Stern seat mounting & patches

I cut spacers to mount the stern seat. These had to be beveled on both ends and drilled through, which took a few tries to get right.


I also resumed patching the planking; starting with a couple of small holes. I picked up some 8 foot western red cedar boards to use where the 6 footers aren't long enough. I found some nice heartwood pieces which match the original wood color better than the other new wood.
