Reid's Cedar Rib Canoe
The cedar rib canoe was the pinnacle of canoe construction 120 years ago. But none have been built for 80 years, and no one knows how they were made. So Reid built one! Read more....
Whoa, something big just happened! For more than 2 years now Reid has been figuring out how to build a cedar rib canoe. He put the finished product in the water and hey, it floats! It doesn't even leak (not a drop!), and paddles just the same as her 120 year old sister that he used as a template to build her.... He tells me he's kind of amazed!
Canoe Perspectives
We just got back from the opening of Canoe Perspectives at The Canadian Canoe Museum - and what an amazing exhibition! It showcases 45 canoe related works until spring 2027. Read more....
Canoe Perspectives at the Canadian Canoe Museum showcases canoe related art works from the private collection of the wonderful Scott and Grit McCreath. Spanning from around 1820 to 2020 it features artists like Frances Anne Hopkins, Cornelius Kreighoff, Alex Colville, David Milne and Ken Danby, all painting canoes! It's up for a year, so please check it out. We already have plans to visit again it's on until the spring of 2027.
Beautiful yet fleeting time of year. Ephemeral spring beauties, vernal pools, spring peepers, and, alas, I saw my first mosquito today. Enjoy spring while you can everyone!
