A final walk around before I deliver the canoe this weekend!






The outside finish is spar varnish over burnt black wood. The inside of the hull is treated for termites and sealed with a rosewood stain. All the rigging is natural fiber rope that was soaked in water for 30 minutes before installation...as the rope dried in place it shrank...making a very tight lashing. I also applied an aggressive application of water sealer on all the rigging. The outrigger is guava wood and the float is wiliwili.
