Known internationally as "the Bible of canoe building,"
Canoecraft is back, and it's bigger and better than ever. The
best-selling how-to guide has been completely revised and expanded,
and master canoe builder Ted Moores again infuses the pages with
the experience and wisdom acquired over almost three decades. His
step-by-step instructions, generously illustrated with new
photographs and diagrams and incorporated into an accessible fresh
design, will allow even the beginner to create a reasonably priced
classic. North America's leading builder of woodstrip/epoxy canoes,
Moores is a longtime teacher of wooden-boat construction as well.
With students who have ranged in age from 11 to 87, Moores has
discovered that all have been motivated by the same dream: to build
something beautiful and functional.
Canoecraft is the road map to that dream. In it, Moores offers
comprehensive instructions for the first-time builder and, with the
second-time builder in mind, includes a larger variety of canoe
plans -- five of which are brand-new. In this edition, each plan is
presented as a traditional table of offsets. Moores has also added
a series of builder's tips and new techniques and an entire chapter
on carving a paddle, the perfect accompaniment to your handcrafted
canoe. His message is straightforward: When good materials are used
and simple steps performed with care, professional results are sure
to follow.
Whether your goal is to build a general-purpose recreational
canoe, an efficient modern tripping canoe or a full-decked
fast-cruising canoe with walnut veneer, Canoecraft can help you
make it happen.
