Breathe some life into that old wood-canvas canoe in the rafters and turn it into a classic wooden canoe suitable to be paddled for another generation or two. In this course you will work on your own wood-canvas canoe repairs. Dan Strootman and Adam Harju are in residence at North House to assist you with your restoration efforts. Cracked ribs, replaced planking, new decks, new gunwales-this course focuses on all the essential canoe repairs to properly restore the wooden components of the canoe. With the right mix of materials, skillful repair and a boat building shop with all the materials you need, Dan and Adam will guide you through the process of restoring your wooden canoe. Dan has successfully restored wooden boats from as early as 1911 and those with up to 80 percent of their original wooden components replaced. Students are strongly encouraged to work with a partner (friend or family member) on their canoe as an assistant. If you do not have a canoe but would nevertheless like to develop your canoe restoration skills, you are welcome to sign up for the course. Your materials should be paid the last day of the course - add 7.875% MN/Cook County sales tax.
