I would love to know if anyone's done a plywood stationed canoe. I love the look (and weight) of skin-on-frame canoes, but I'm not enthusiastic to bending all of the ribs.

My first thought, seeing this boat, was that - if this is possible, so should a canoe be.

: Dave,

: Congratulations on another beautiful job!

: Are the stations made of plywood? Can you list the materials and dimensions
: that you used for the stringers and other longitudinals
: (inwhales/outwhales, floorboards etc)? I have wondered, just out of
: curiosity, if a canoe could be built in this fashion...(I have a copy of
: Hazen's canoe-building book, with full-size station drawings). If anyone
: has built one, or has pics, I'd be interested to see them.
