Hello from the Nutmeg State: version 2.0

Welcome Conklin. You've got a lot of irons in the fire! I'm glad to see there is another banjo man in here. I've got one but I can't play it worth a darn.

That boat that you have on the trailer, did you build it or cane the seats? I almost tackled building a cedar strip canoe but I got side tracked.

Nice pistols and holsters too!

Building a cedar strip canoe involves a whole lot of tedious work - I can't blame you for getting side tracked!

No - I didn't build the guideboat. I bought it just like you see it up in Burlington VT. It's made of Kevlar with native cherry trim and soft maple oars - all crafted in a little shop near Lake Champlain.

It's a beautiful boat to row - light as a feather and very responsive.

Got ya. Still a nice looking boat.
