DavePete Posted March 1, 2020 #91 Posted March 1, 2020 Looks very good. You have done a nice job. Small boats have a charm all of their own. Looking forward to seeing the final photos. Your build log makes me think about getting into a project again. Thank you for sharing. Duanelaker and BobG 2 Quote
Cajun_Pirogue Posted March 1, 2020 #92 Posted March 1, 2020 Looks awesome! Anyone use boiled linseed oil? I’ve used it with woodworking. I do like using poly though. Duanelaker 1 Quote

DonInAZ Posted March 2, 2020 #94 Posted March 2, 2020 Just went through your log Dave... Wow! You did a fantastic job. What a nice little introduction to the mysterious art of planking. I am also intimidated by that and am working through a few of the Midwest small boat kits as a way to build some of the skills I will need to tackle a full on 2 or 3 masted tall ship model. Anyway, congrats on this little beauty. She is going to be a fantastic display model.

What’s the benefit of it? Do you put anything over it? Not sure with modeling, but I’ve used it with wooden projects to bring out the grains and colors in the wood. I have found though that some woods it looked great and others not so much. My plan was to try a scrap piece to test, but was curious if anyone had tried it. I never put anything over it. On a side note, I have used matte poly often and have been satisfied with it. Duanelaker 1 Quote
Jack12477 Posted March 2, 2020 #96 Posted March 2, 2020 Try some Tung oil on a piece of scrap to see how that looks. We use it on our ice boats a lot.

Not yet... out of all tasks, I feel like painting and staining takes the most motivation for me. Even though I find when I do it, I over thought and it was simple and quick. My concern at this point is how am I going to stain, etc., the inside with so many surfaces. Where as the exterior is a smooth surface. I’m hoping Art finishes his and I see what he does 😝.

I just did some minor clean up and sanding in the interior of my Indian Girl and then gave it of couple of coats of Wipe-on-Poly and I thought it looked great...easy peasy. Painting the exterior was another story but I eventually got it to the point that I was really happy with it. Go for it!

I am just going to clear coat mine. Not sure if it will be Wipe on Poly or I might give Tung oil a try I have never used it before.

I do have another Peterboro that I was thinking about doing as a side project. I have also recently finished planking on an 18th century long boat as well as getting ready to do a model shipways blue nose. I should make plans to get back to this and create a display stand of some sort....so many models....so little time.

She's a beautiful canoe and would look even better with some finish on the bare wood....maybe just some Wipe-on-Poly. That's all I did to the interior of my canoe and it gave it a nice warm glow.

Mike 9 Posted February 2, 2023 #108 Posted February 2, 2023 I have a complete Peterboro canoe kit that needs a good home, I'd love to see it go to someone who'll build it and enjoy it. I have had this kit for 20 years or so and just haven't gotten around to it. I'd love to pass it on! Mike N. Lexington, SC Jack12477 1 Quote
catman42 Posted March 24, 2023 #109 Posted March 24, 2023 Hi Dave I am just now looking at you your post , fantastic job. I am thinking of making one from scratch using your info it is very good. Would you believe I actually had one of these canoes many years ago and it looked exactly like yours. it was canvas covered and painted red. The canvas was in bad shape so I decided to remove it. under the canvas was a brass or copper plate that read Peterborough Canoe Company spelled the canadian way! These kits cost an arm and a leg in Canada with the change in money plus shipping I have built a similar kit before so I think I can do it Would it be possible to send me the actual dimensions of the the mold pieces I am having a big problem trying to get them off your post diagrams. thanks Brad Quote
catman42 Posted March 24, 2023 #110 Posted March 24, 2023 anyone know if Widwest Products is still making this kit or others It seems very hard to find and no address for them thanks Quote

Shickluna searcher Posted March 16 #114 Posted March 16 How do you manage to avoid any glue drips or squeeze-out on the inside when you can't access to wipe it off as you can on the outside? Even with very careful application it's hard to get drop free. I want to build one and have the wood natural inside and out so hope to avoid CA and over-gluing. Quote

We’d love to see it - the icing on the cake so to speak. Scott Quote Currently building: HM Yacht Chatham - 1:64 - Caldercraft
