Dan, my name is Brian. I'm in the process of refinishing an old Keith Steele 16 footer. I like the pics of this boat. I was thinking of using Durabak for the outside and inside bottom. Is that what you did here? I apologize if the info I'm…

AJ--I have been getting marine ply delivered to me in Wilson from Macbeath Hardwoods in Salt Lake.  This has been great when they have Joubert from France, and not great when they have only other brands/specs.  From where have you been…

Here's my version of what MBB has done on the Recurve. I built it from scratch without any plans. I just drew some circles on the floor of my garage untill I got it right, although I would change the offset a bit and not make the bottom curve…

Could the metal be pinned into the uprights with the "plug and fish" part exposed to plug into the floor parts? Rick N

What about just painting those metal rods with the same color paint as the outside of the boat. Make a sweet brace top out of wood like in the picture and your golden. Might wanna consider some minicell foam paddling glued on in contact points to…

About Me:
I love my wood boat, I'm new to this , I bought my first wood boat this year, It needed some work and I fell in love with working on it. Randy and Sandy helped with questions and sent me the parts I needed to make it right again. what a great way to fish and float the rivers of Idaho. I make my living as an illustrator you can see my work on my web site www.danburr.com I guided for a bunch of years for a local fly fishing outfitter, now I guide my 11 yr. old boy and let him in the action, I am content to row the woody.

Henry's Fork Browns

The action is picking up on the Henry's Fork of the Snake, It ought to be great fishing the same time as AJ's boat show in Wilson. The Salmon flies should be out and the big fish too.

Boat Show Poster

Earlier this year I was asked to illustrate the latest poster for the upcoming wooden boat show. Randy let me do what ever I wanted for the design, I chose to paint a wooden boat (duh) from the inside or looking down into the boat. that is what I find myself looking at when I am just standing looking at my boat, I love how these boats are put together, and that inspired me to do this poster, I used a photo of my boat and one Randy sent me for the reference to paint from. Hope you wooden boat… Continue

That is too bad.  I guess what we will do is make the call at the last minute and go from there.

cool,

    guess it depends on the shafts and the blades. cat shafts seem to go for $125 and $150 new for sgx and sgg respectively. not sure on the sawyers. standards cat magnum blades sell for $75 new or so. thats about all i know. kinda just been lookin around trying to feel out the market. i have a set of smokers now, and while the wood feels great, i'm looking for something lighter and better suited for heavy water. i'll probably try and build a set of spruce fishing oars..sounds like a fun project for this season if i can't find shop space to start the new build.

Dan,

Have you been out much yet? I was able to get on the Henry's the other day up by warm river. Caddis were out, but shortly there after the wind showed up and I called it a day. Let me know.

Thanks for posting the poster Dan, It's perfect.

That rock in Whitehorse sets just under the water at some river levels. The rowers can't see it and need to know where it is or suffer this fate. There have been many boat of all kinds taken off that rock.

Thanks again for the help.

Dan,
Nice job on the poster... very cool. And... nice job on your boat - I've never seen one quite like it... awesome. You need to bring that over to the Boat Festival - it would look "stunning" on the McKenzie River.
Can't wait to get your poster framed and up on the wall...
Thanks for bringing your considerable talents to the Boat People.....
Greg

Hello Dan, Glad you are online now. It would be great to introduce yourself in a blog and post the new boat poster. After you do I will likely put a small thumbnail into a text file on the home page of the site and link to a large version to give everyone the info for the show in April.

Thanks again for the great work.
How did the boat project go? I'd love to see that too.
