I really like the color combination of Jeff's Stonefly on the Kudzu Craft website, the stained wood with the antique white skin looks great. I have quite a bit of mahogany stain leftover from some refinish work i did last year on my Chris Craft, I was planning on tinting the linseed oil with a bit of the mahogany stain and painting the skin with Rustoleum since its readily available in my area.
It's been some time now, but I'm now finished with the framework. I'm getting ready to "oil" the frame and I'm looking for some advice as to what product to use, stain, tung oil, thinned varnish, etc
Funny, I was also thinking about everything that could be lashed. I thought a railing around my deck that was lashed together would look really neat. My wife, I'm sure, would think otherwise:)
I have all the frames cut out and I'm ready to start assembly. I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but I can't find anything that states the proper location of the bow and stern pieces. Is there a specific distance the stern should from frame 2' 0" and the bow from frame 12' 3"? Thanks
Hello, I'm new to the forum and just finished reading both of Jeff's books and I'm now ready to start building. I would like to build a canoe as I already own a kayak (Tupperware type). I'm considering either the Stonefly or Crawfish. I've been able to find many pictures of the Stonefly but couldn't find much on the Crawfish. Can anyone provide some pictures of the Crawfish. I would be interested in both construction and the completed boat Thanks
