Summary: History in the making
Review: Canoecraft provides a wide variety canoe designs for building. Historical pictures show canoe shops with proud workers. Warning: I've used the strongback as suggested in this book and ended up with a slightly warped, but paddleable boat.

Summary: A Step-by-Step Guide to Building an Uncomplicated Classic.
Review: Deceptively beautiful, the modern woodstrip canoe not only is rugged and responsive in the water, but also can be built by anyone with a minimum of carpentry skills. Step-by-step instructions, profusely illustrated with photographs and drawings, reveal the secrets of North America's leading builder of woodstrip/epoxy canoes and allow even the beginner to create a low-cost classic. "Canocraft" contains plans for seven different canoe models, including the Peterborough, Prospector, C-4, English 20 and Sunnyside Cruiser.

Summary: Bouw je eigen houtstrip kano. Dit is hét boek !!
Review: I have build the Redbird canoe. The book was almost perfect to help me building. Some minor details were left to my own fantasy. It was very hard to understand the special terminology and translate it (I talk and think in dutch). The result is great however. I can advise everybody who is thinking about building a strip canoe to read this book first. All issues , possible problems, step by step plans, measurements etc. are adequately handled in this book.

Summary: Best build it yourself book I have seen.
Review: I have built the PROSPECTOR and the REDBIRD. The information in this book is accurate and easy to understand. I researched books before selecting CANOECRAFT and have found it the best source of information and guidance. Several times I have been stopped by people who are interested in my canoes. When they ask where I got my plans and instructions, I tell them about CANOECRAFT by Moores and Mohr. Thank you Ted and Merilyn.

Summary: THE definitive book if you want to build a woodstrip canoe
Review: There are probably six or seven different books and magazine articles that describe the building process in detail, but this is the one that is THE STANDARD and is, by far, the most interesting and complete. It includes plan dimensions for six or eight canoes, but most will spend the $40 or so to send away for full-size plans and avoid having to loft them yourself. It is also a book that is enjoyable to browse and read even if you are not building. But after doing so, you'll get the bug and spend the next four months in your garage like I did. Very theraputic

Review: This is the first book to get before all other boatbuilding texts. Ted and Merilyn have so clearly illustrated,both in words and pictures building a stripper, someone with ten thumbs will produce a thing of beauty.
