Canoecraft: An Illustrated Guide to Fine Woodstrip Construction

Summary: Rock solid guide to get you floating in a heirloom...
Review: Without any previous wood working experience, this book guided me through the hundreds of little steps required to build a canoe of excellent qualities. Ted Moores really thought of everything, and if I (12.000 miles south of Ontario) could do it, so can you.

On the down side, the books omits any reference to the extremely useful bulletin board at Ted Moores own website. Also, his method is so smooth and free of doubts, that it helps to purchase some other book with a different outlook, just to relax a little. He does say "professional results" a few times too often for my taste.

BUT, when it is time to get building, make sure you do as he says, because he really knows what is best for your boat.
