I'm hoping somebody will be able to help me find info on dug-out canoes. We bought a home in so Cal and discovered the canoe hanging from the rafters in the garage. This is the first time this home has been sold outside of the family since it was built by the owner in the early 1960s. We have alot of stuff to go thro but the canoe is the most interesting find so far.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Jeannine, Here are just a few links I found on the web. Looks like you will find plenty of sources to read over. Is the canoe "plain" or does it have a carved prow and/or stern. You might want to call your local friendly lumberman or possibly a wood tech teacher from the high school or tech college, or local state or county forester and have them come and give their considered opinion as to wood used and possible age... http://www.calverley.ca/Part03-Transportation/3-032.html http://www.applegateboatworks.com/coastal.html http://www.greatdreams.com/canoe2.htm Good luck, keep us posted Andy
