Built it in '98-99, paddled many times in the BWCA and Quetico.  An "experienced" canoe with the scratches, dings, and repairs to show for it.  But very well maintained and in excellent shape.  Built for hard use with ash stems protected by extra glass and brass bands.  Ash gunnels with scuppers that permit lashing paddles, rods, etc, and drains the water out so it doesn't run down your back when lifted to portage.  Has a bent laminated portage yoke with sling pads that can be switched out for a slimmer ash "trim" yoke.  Weighs ~70 lbs (about the same as a Royalex).  Very stable with large capacity.  A pleasure both to paddle and to look at.  Can deliver up to 300 miles from Green Bay, WI.  Asking $1500.  PM or email me for photos (too large to upload!)
