Enthusiastic about Wooden Canoes
Ok guys I am not new to the canoe building process. I have been building them or years but covering them with clear epoxy. This winter I want to try doing a canvas one, thus the questions. I have been doing the 17 1/2 foot ones. So how much canvas do you need for one? Also how much filler does one take. I am sure my next question is very debatable, but with the cost of canoe tacks is it ok to use staples for fastening the canvas? One other question. There is a canvas supplier in my neck of the woods, that sells 60" wide treated and non treated 10 oz canvas. Is there any differences in canvas for making canoes? I can get this canvas for $3.48 a yard vrs. $6.00 a foot from canoe suppliers.... Any help is greatly appreciated.
