Humanbackhoe said:I wanted a wood to contrast with the cedar for the football and found a pine board that I really liked the color of. So basically it had to contrast and be a softwood and I found a board that fit the criteria.
why use pine for the football?

Very nice job. Be sure to varnish it every year

That is so much of a cooler reason then the expansion/contraction arena I was thinking of

Super nice looking canoe. I would be afraid I'd run it up on a big rock the first time I took it out.
Owner looks pleased.

Here are pictures of the bulkhead. I did it this way so the entire Beckson unit could be replaced if needed.

How many neighbors did you get to know
I need to do a canoe....they are cooler looking than the kayaks I build.

I don't know for sure but it was a lot. People stopped driving by, road dept workers, mailman, UPS guys and people biking too. Even our preacher and grocery checker stopped by. "Build a boat, meet your neighbors"
