Building and Testing a Canoe
Back in June, I was visiting a good friend Oli in Devon. During my time, I was fortunate to see how this beautiful canoe was built by David (Oli's dad) and test it along the river Dart.
David talks about the stages of building your own canoe from scratch, creating this great form of travel from ply wood and Ash. The 16ft canoe has now just been built after 7 gradual years. This is something great to do if you enjoy woodworking, crafting things from scratch and canoeing. It can take however long depending on your schedule and the time/ patience you have.
It was amazing to chat with David and I personally feel very inspired by this awesome project. I hope you do too and enjoy the video :)
Take care and have a lovely summer x

Wonderful Boat
Becca's fantastic smile is essential for any successful canoe test.
I really hope this boat builder has won sone sort of award for his work. That canoe is Brilliant!
A true craftsman. Then again what you do building your shelters is just as skilful. Speaking as someone who is hopeless with their hands, I take my hat off to you both. Take care till next time Becks xx
This is lovely! You guys enjoy it! Thank you very much for this video! Blessings for both of you!
Beautiful canoe for David after 7 years Becky👍🇵🇭
Amazing how some people just do things like that. That canoe is awesome!
Very nice...bless all who sail in her❤
Thats craftmanship! All the nooks and crannies are important and something to be proud of. That´s a beautiful boat!
Beautifully crafted canoe, sir.
The Master's hands..!!
Beautiful. Before I was born, my grandfather made a strip kayak. My dad found it in the barn several years ago. It had fallen apart
I've been contemplating a canoe build for a while .. This has now convinced me to get on with it. Just have to make the space. The wife isn't happy, but the dog house is a small price to pay. 👍
Awesome canoe. Looks amazing. Oli's dad did a fantastic job. Thanks Becky (and David. Oh and Oli for carrying it! 😂)
Nice cedar strip job , lovely lovely , i darent use anything as poosh on my adventures , but a lovely show piece . Yaaawl seen deliverance !
Excellent way to spend the day!!!!! The water was so clear and clean
Very nice canoe
What a beautiful piece of work. Hi Oli!
Awesome canoe, I’ve had some of my best camping trips in my red canoe. Hope you guys have some great times in it. Thanks for the cool video!
Brilliant!!! Looks an absolute peach. I think the way a project like that gets done in three weekends is by setting the standard WAY lower, and skip 98% of the rub down, wipe, rub down, wipe cycles. HOWEVER the man on a galloping horse then needs to be the other side of the field as well.
