Cost of Materials

Post by Carlos »

II would like to build the " Peterborough Canadien Canoe ". I'm located in Quebec, Canada. Would anyone have a ballpark number on the cost of wood & materials to build canoe. Regards Carlos ( calyn@sympatico.ca )

I paid $12 for a piece of 5/4" x 8" x 6' cherry, last month.
Tools are another thing.

Bearmountain has a FAQ on cost. I think it's about right http://www.bearmountainboats.com/faq_01.htm

Carlos;
My mistake, I thought you wanted to know about paddle (forum) making.
To make a canoe is somewhat more expensive.
