Book Reviews of Canoecraft: An Illustrated Guide to Fine Woodstrip Construction

Book Review: wonderful book
Summary: 5 Stars

I am female, I built the redbird 20 yrs ago. It is the most awesome paddle. It has been to Minnesota, Columbia river, etc. I found the directions clear and easy, I lofted the stations, did everything. The most difficulty I had was the fiberglassing: Colorado winters get cold and the epoxy clouded some on the outside. The shop couldn't keep up with the cold. This book also guides you through design features that help you build the shape for the funtion you desire. After 20 yrs, this book is still on my shelf.

Summary of Canoecraft: An Illustrated Guide to Fine Woodstrip Construction

Known internationally as "the Bible of canoe building," Canoecraft is back, and it's bigger and better than ever. The best-selling how-to guide has been completely revised and expanded, and master canoe builder Ted Moores again infuses the pages with the experience and wisdom acquired over almost three decades. His step-by-step instructions, generously illustrated with new photographs and diagrams and incorporated into an accessible fresh design, will allow even the beginner to create a reasonably priced classic. North America's leading builder of woodstrip/epoxy canoes, Moores is a longtime teacher of wooden-boat construction as well. With students who have ranged in age from 11 to 87, Moores has discovered that all have been motivated by the same dream: to build something beautiful and functional.

Canoecraft is the road map to that dream. In it, Moores offers comprehensive instructions for the first-time builder and, with the second-time builder in mind, includes a larger variety of canoe plans -- five of which are brand-new. In this edition, each plan is presented as a traditional table of offsets. Moores has also added a series of builder's tips and new techniques and an entire chapter on carving a paddle, the perfect accompaniment to your handcrafted canoe. His message is straightforward: When good materials are used and simple steps performed with care, professional results are sure to follow.

Whether your goal is to build a general-purpose recreational canoe, an efficient modern tripping canoe or a full-decked fast-cruising canoe with walnut veneer, Canoecraft can help you make it happen.
