Hey, are you trying to pull a fast one? For some reason it looks like a model to me. Don't take me too seriously, I'm just having fun (but it does look like a model).

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

That canoe is so beautiful, I'd almost be afraid to put it in the water. I'd cry like a baby if a scratched it. :cry:

Do you mean color wise or? The wife said the same, that the tear should have at least some colors on it to match... Fenders Maybe?

Tom

I am also thinking about scratchin it or tearing a hole into it....yikes...

He had it repainted and polished up before we went to pick it up...

It only has been used 2 - 3 times in the past 2 years...

I admit also its a scarce find here in our country .. there is only maybe
2 or 3 that have built canoes here in Finland...Then of course few more in
Sweden... And No Shipping Costs...

Very Happy ti find this...
