Steve from Switzerland - Prospector

My canoe has been done for awhile (other than some small details to finish up...... ;-) a quick picture from today with my boys on the  river Rhein just north of Schaffhausen. Thank Ted again from me for the knowledge he has shared with us and  know that I will always be thankful for it.  Already planning the second one and probably a kayak or two :-) The hard one is done.

One last picture of the bottom of the canoe with the first couple layers of varnish. The dark wavy shadow (if you zoom up) is not from any unevenness in the surface :-) it's the reflection of the hills in the background and the tree above. Take care, Steve Steve_Switzerland_Canoe
