After seeing C Coyle's build log for his 12 footer, I am inspired to post some pictures of my 16 ft Peterborough cedar strip; didn't know we were "allowed" to post non-model builds. I made it from the book "Canoecraft" by Ted Moores, which contains lines for several different canoe designs.

I has no tumblehome, no keel, no thwarts and a large rocker. But I think I can do something with it. I initially thought I would somehow cut it down to 16” to make it more proportional to a typical canoe but decided against that. I've -
Maori War Canoe will be carved from Basswood, have not picked which fantail and bow carvings to use, many to pick from see picks. Having no carving experience will start on the hull first. Intricate carvings for fantail and bow will be pear or Sculpy. Read Dan Vads tuturioral on Sculpy and may go that route since after baking it appears as sturdy as wood??- 65 replies

From the album: Ships in Bottles
I received a commission to build a miniature replica of an acquaintance's canoe, on lake Geneva. It is displayed with his two daughters paddling past a group of swans, one of them with its butt in the air as it plucks some grasses off the lake bed.
