Sept. 9th th , 2009 What projects would you like to see going on? Bending on ribs?, other steam bending projects?, canvassing?, any aspects of restoration?, etc. Contact us and we'll see what we can come up with. Another Fall has almost slipped by. The leaves are down and the wood is in. There has even been a skim of ice on the pond that I take Bean out to for her walks. As we prepare for another winter work has been coming in at a steady rate. We have even begun work on some of the boats we stripped this fall. All of the Kingfishers are done, although there are more on the list, the Voyager has been canvassed, filled and is out of the shop drying. We built another Morris on spec., a 15' er. We've had a bunch of closed gunnel 16' Old Towns this year. We just brought one in and thats three just recently. There is also a Morris closed gunnel in progress too. The models have been completed and sent on their ways. The old E.M. White has been finished also.
