This video provides in depth detail to the restoration steps that I did not cover with the Chestnut Chum Wood Canvas Canoe Restoration. This is a restoration for a couple that requested my help and I gladly obliged. This canoe has seen better days as you will clearly see in the video and detailed work is required to bring the canoe back to its original beauty. I have employed different audio by using a new mic to help improve the audio presentation with the video. Half way through the video there is a big difference by using the mic. Perhaps you will notice. There will be two parts to this series. Part 1 disassembles the canoe, rebuilds the canoe stern and bow stems and over 40 rib tops. I detail in depth the techniques that I use to complete the task. Part 2 will be applying new planking, refurbishing the reusable planking, applying wood treatments, canvassing the canoe, building outwales to complete the gunwales and finally painting.
