Ted Moores is a master builder of woodstrip/epoxy canoes.
Over four decades teaching wooden-boat construction, he discovered that the same dream motivates all of his students, no matter their age: to build something beautiful and functional.
Canoecraft is the road map to that dream.
Moores offers comprehensive instructions for the first-time builder, and for the second-time builder.
He adds a variety of canoe plans, each presented as a traditional table of offsets.
There is also a series of builders tips and techniques, and an entire chapter on carving a paddle, the perfect accompaniment to a handcrafted canoe.
Whether the goal is to build a general-purpose recreational canoe, or an efficient modern tripping canoe, or a full-decked fast-cruising canoe with walnut veneer, Canoecraft is the ideal guide to making it happen successfully.
