Above is an example by Stuart Blakemore
The WREN is typical Canadian
canoe built using the stitch and tape ply method. Her design
was based upon an original Indian bark canoe and simplified
for ply construction but without loosing the essence of her
beautiful shape. She is very quick and simple to build (taking
around 18 hours).
