This 15’ Bobs Special is an early 20th century canoe. Specific dates are impossible for Chestnut canoes. The canoe has been fully restored with stem and deck repairs, new (one piece) spruce inwales & Ash outwales, 11 new ribs, 65’ of new planking, new Ash seat frames and Chestnut pattern cane, fully re-canvassed and filled, 2 coats primer and 3 coats Kirby’s Blind Green paint. The shoe keel was not re-installed but is available for the new owner if desired. With care the canoe will serve its owners for another 100 years! Delivery assistance in mid-Atlantic and New England can be negotiated. Many more pictures of restoration are available.
