intro

This blog follows my first cedar strip canoe build. I doubt it will be my last. I bought my cedar boards on Vancouver Island while on vacation. It was from a little cedar mill just outside of Tofino.

Very nice people and had no problem letting me sort through the cedar to find what i wanted. Plus the wood was cheap. I bought 5 pieces of 2x6  16 ft long. Thats 30 strips per board. That's 150 full length strips. enough for 2 canoes with some left over. I paid $360 for the lot. This project is off to a good start.
