Dear people from Bear Mountain Boats, Finally finished the canoe me and my dad built from your drawings with help from the book. It turned out lovely and it paddles perfectly. Just wanted to show my gratitude for making it possible to have build this myself. Please feel free to use any of these photos if you can use them in any way. With kind regards, Just Vervaart The Netherlands
