Title: A book that will help you build a beautiful canoe.
Product review: I like this book. Moorse's canoes are striking, but I think that a lot of what is presented may be beyond the skill of the casual builder. It is obvious the Ted Moores is a fabulous woodworker. The problem is that I am not. I really enjoyed reading how he builds his canoes and looking at the wonderful photos that are in the book.Personally, I don't like external stems on a canoe. They widen the entry line and just look weird to me. Building them is also a fiddly undertaking and I'm not sure that they really add much. I built my canoe using both Canoecraft and Gilpatrick's book . . . I found the latter a much more approachable text.If I were a master woodworker I would only follow Moore's book and I would have the most beautiful canoe that I could build. I'm not a master woodworker so I follow Gilpatrik and I am fully satisfied.I recommed anyone that is interested in canoe building to buy this book. It is just amazing what he can do with wood.
