Construction Begins

As I have hinted to in a previos post, myself and my good friend Mario have taken on the venture of building a 16' strip canoe. We are making it primarily out of basswood, with some ash and some cherry. I recently acquired the wood from the Rudd farm in Lacona, NY, and brought it home. We began construction today, tracing and cutting out the forms, to which the strips will be attached. Starting to get exciting. More to come...



This is one of the forms. Its basically the shape of the canoe, minus the mushroom stem and its upside down. Make sense???

Much the same as my lovely wife, I too cant wait to experience the beauty of God's creation that is the Daks. Cant wait. Its the only motivation I have these days it seems. This the kind of stuff I'll be feasting my eyes on in a couple of weeks.

46er

I, along with a couple of friends have aspirations to be 46ers (someone who has climbed all of the 46 high peaks (those mountains in the Adirondack State Park that are over 4000 ft)). Here are some of my summits.

My first blog

I dont know how to start off this blog, so I will start by posting some pics representing the things I love and appreciate.
