After reading Canoecraft, Nick called up to purchase some plans and before he knew it Joan had enlisted his help to produce a canoe building video as a companion to Canoecraft. Nick (www.offermanwoodshop.com) rounded up his buddy Jimmy Diresta (www.jimmydiresta.com) and drove to Peterborough to pick up the building materials and work out the details. We feel honored to have worked with two such talented versatile artists. Nick kept a journal which we are posting here for your enjoyment..... download the complete Canoe Club journal (pdf file, 12.6 meg) You can read a review of Fine Woodstrip Canoe Building with Nick Offerman here The DVD is now available for purchase in our online store - you may purchase it here
