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.

The Keel

I bought a piece of oak and made the keel for the canoe. It's almost 12 feet long, so I bought a 6 foot board, ripped it and scarfed the two pieces together. 

It's just on there temporarily, until after the hull is primed and painted.
