Beautiful Boat...even thought I have a Sawyer Kevlar and a Wenonah Kevlar,  I paddle a Cedar Strip canoe.  There is something magical about paddling a wood boat.  I will caution you, however, it is a labor of Love.  Just like your 20 years of marriage, it will take a dedicated and patient soul to keep it together, unless you don't intend to use it which would be an equally shameful thing.  You will scratch it and ding it, then you will need to spend time sanding and refinishing it.  It will never look the same, but each scratch and ding will contain a story of another journey.   

I built my first Cedar Strip in 1999.  It has gone to the BWCA every year since.  This past weekend my wife and I paddled it around Drummond Island in the UP on our 16th anniversay.  We scratched the snot of it, but it was worth every minute it. 

Anyway, good luck!  Enjoy...and congrats on 20 years of marriage.
