The Old Towne is CANVASED!!!!!!! Aug 3

The Old Towne is canvased! Charlie and I put the cotton duck cloth on the boat this afternoon. Here are some pics...


Stretching the canvas between two trees with a come-along

I tacked and Charlie stretched

Charlie stretching the canvas while under the boat....this was difficult!

Giggle Giggle Giggle ....it worked!


Back in the garage where I tacked the ends and applied Dolphin "bedding compound".
Tomorrow I will put the waterproofer (filler) on the canoe and smooth it our real nice like. I can paint it on Sept 4th! You vote...what color should it be? I vote for a dark orange...not VOL orange but a deep burnt orange feel. Joe Seliga green would be nice. The original color was red. What do you think?
