Birch Canoes

Post by jclohesy »

It has been a while since I posted on this site, but I've been meaning to for a while..

I've built another Jem Iroquois, launched on our river just the other day.. it took me 21 hours of workshop work from start to finish ( no perfectionist, me) but I'm highly chuffed with it..

Below is a shot of the same design of canoe which I built last year, being paddled down the river Wye between England and Wales last summer
