This strip canoe was built using plans from Mac Macarthy, who drew them based on a Rushton design.  The strips have various sources: pine from an old water bed frame, pine from recycled shelving, mahogany found at the roadside, and cedar strips left over from another canoe.  The thwart is white oak from a pallet.  The decks are red oak that was destined to be firewood.  The seat frame is made from a recycled water bed frame, and the seat slats are leftover wainscoting.  The gunwales are leftover pieces from two different canoe projects.  Absolutely no wood was purchased to create this canoe.
