Larry West - Bob's Special

Here is a photo of my Bob's in the BWCA May 2004. If you'll note, I left the canoe visiting with a distant relative while I portaged the gear. I used Inland red cedar for the hull, walnut stems, gunwales, and seats, and cherry decks and yoke. Nothing fancy - I let the wonderful lines do the talking. Larry West
