This canoe sold on the first day it was posted...Friday of last week. I have spent the last 3 days getting it ready. The inside hull was treated for termite prevention then with a rosewood stain, the outrigger components were aggressively treated with a water sealer, I lightly sanded and varnished the outside of the hull and replaced all the rigging with a natural fiber rope. The rope was soaked in water for 30 minutes before installation...this will cause the rope to shrink and tighten as it dries.
This was an extremely rewarding project and I am looking forward to starting my next wa'a in the very near future.
