I have posted instructions in the "FAQ" section of the forum: http://www.bearmountainboats.com/phpbb2 ... php?t=1150
Now you have me curious as to what this strange canoe can be.
You could always email me the photo and I will post it for you if that is more convenient.

Here is one photo of a "strange canoe" as reported by AJ. I'm sure the Redbird would be easier to build, cartop and paddle but this sure is a head-turner. This Italian sculptor has made several different wooden cars that actually work and they all float. He even made a wooden carriage with horses that he drives around on the canals in Venice. Enjoy.

Portaging it would be interesting.
No need for a car top carrier, ....for your cedar strip canoe.

Pics of this guys work get posted or sent to me every once in a while. Browse through some of the suff on his site- absolutely amazing work. His Name is Livio De Marchi. I find some of the smaller items even more amazing than the big cars etc., the detail is very life-like.
To keep it on topic with the forum, here is one of his boat building projects:
This might make a real nice paddling shirt:
