## Description

Reviews of previous edition: An excellent definitive book... something you must read if you are going to build a woodstrip canoe. -- Canoeist If you want to build a strip-plank canoe or kayak, Canoecraft is the book to buy... A very comprehensive boatbuilding book and highly recommended. -- Water Craft A Woodworking Magazine Top 40 Book Now revised and expanded with 32 pages of color and an updated resources section, this 70,000-copy international bestseller, known as the 'Bible of canoe building' is back, bigger and better than ever. Ted Moores is a master builder of woodstrip/epoxy canoes. Over four decades teaching wooden-boat construction, he discovered that the same dream motivates all of his students, no matter their age: to build something beautiful and functional. Canoecraft is the road map to that dream. Moores offers comprehensive instructions for the first-time builder, and for the second-time builder. He adds a variety of canoe plans, each presented as a traditional table of offsets. There is also a series of builder's tips and techniques, and an entire chapter on carving a paddle, the perfect accompaniment to a handcrafted canoe. Whether the goal is to build a general-purpose recreational canoe, or an efficient modern tripping canoe, or a full-decked fast-cruising canoe with walnut veneer, Canoecraft is the ideal guide to making it happen successfully.

Review: Excellent book, likely the best. - This book makes the book "Building a Strip Canoe" by Gilpatrick look like a throw-away. I have not read "Strippers Guide" but after reading the comments contained under that book title, I have to believe this one is better. I see several people are having trouble with the offset tables. They are really not complicated at all. The appendix explains exactly how to use this information to create the station molds you will need to begin planking the boat on the strongback (the temporary building jig/frame of the boat). I know they work because I used them to build my boat without the $100 worth of plans. This can be done with ruler and pencil or CAD if you have access to it. If after reading the appendix you still don't understand it, go to the builder's forum on [...] and either search through the history or start a new thread to get your answers. Lots of helpful folks on there willing to answer. Also, there are updates to the offset tables on the website, so you can get the latest updates before starting to layout your station molds! Does that sound like a conspiracy to sell plans? If you can't build a canoe with this book, you can't build one.
Review: The cover photo is so attractive, I think I'll leave it on the coffee table so that I pick it up almost daily. - I was impressed with this book the moment I opened the package. I literally read 3/4 of the book the day it arrived. The pictures are B&W and show good detail, although I wish some were color. The amount of info contained in the book is ALMOST overwhelming. I'm sure to refer back to the book as I build my first canoe. My son has been by three times in the last two weeks; he's picked up this book every time he's stopped. I believe with this book and one other I purchased, they will answer 99% of any questions I might come up with before finishing my boat. It's already helped with several thoughts important before choosing a canoe or starting the project. I'm a firm believer in the phrase " Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.". This book has already helped me get my thoughts together and plan the design and process I want to use. I'm sure it will be invaluable during the actual construction.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Other reviews are inaccurate!!!
*by L***N on January 25, 2017*

For essentially being a complete instruction manual on how to build a canoe, this book is really a page turner. I'm about halfway through the planking process right now and haven't had any holdups due to the foresight that Ted outlines in this book. The biggest reason this book appears to receive low reviews is due to its lack of pre-lofted plans. I believe the book mentions that lofting is a "facinating" but "complicated" process. In all honesty, the process is pretty facinating, but not at all complicated. Granted, I have an engineering background and have a fairly technical thought process, but if you can't loft these plans yourself by reading a book or watching a few free videos online, this project may be too much for you to handle. The table of heights and half breadths given in the book are essentially points in a simple cartesian (x,y) coordinate system that are presented with slightly more complicated numers. Connect your dots with a flexible batten and voila! - you have yourself plans that only cost you the pencil, paper and ruler you used to write it on. If you have the extra $100 bucks laying around to buy plans, go for it; however, I do think that lofting them yourself adds to the experience and the uniqueness that you impart to your craft.
