I have been thinking of building a canoe for a long time, and have decided to try and pursue the construction of a cedar canvas canoe.

Does anyone know where I might be able to buy or rent a form for a prospector type canoe? I’m just trying to offset the cost and time involved in constructing a form. If I can’t find a good used one, I will either build the canoe on a one off type form, or try to go to one of the builders and take a course, using their form.

Just thought I’d ask.

Sparetime- there is a private forum for canoe builders within this site. When on the messageboard home page scroll down to the bottom to see available private forums. Would think it's the group you'd want to get to know...
ps- love your quote- so true.
