Canoe form in the tri-state area?

[Stmcglynn]

Hello everyone,

I've finished my second restoration and would like to build a canoe from scratch. Does anyone know where I can find a form for a shorter solo canoe in the region to buy, rent or borrow? I would make the trip as far north as Maine if it was worth it.

Thank you,

Bruce Larson of Georges River Canoe in Warren, Maine has some. See http://www.wcha.org/content/georges-river-canoe for his contact information. Steve Lapey of the Norumbega Chapter may also have one. See http://www.wcha.org/local-area-chapters for his contact information. Many of the builders listed at http://www.wcha.org/builders-and-suppliers-directory will run a class in their shop where you could build one. Good luck,

Benson

I'm not keen on posting links to auctions or CL listings here on the chance that doing so might stink up someone's purchase. It's happened to me and when it does it's extremely annoying...maddening.
If you are interested in Cheemaun form there is a form kit available in the New England area. The listing has been up for about a month.
I sent you a PM with a link to the listing.
Let us know if you decide to buy it.

I sent you a PM about a nice form in MA. 15 foot, 36 in. wide canoe.

Cheers,

Fitz
