Seat Choice

The Fox kits are very complete. All the plywood and solid wood parts are included as well as the fiberglass cloth and tape. The blocks to hang the seat back are cut and glued for you and you’ll have your choice of a cane or nylon webbing seat. The cane seat looks more traditional while the webbing seat is a bit more comfortable and holds up a bit better. Both are prefinished! We also include the wire and all the hardware needed, 2.25 gallons of MAS epoxy, all the fillers for the epoxy and a set of calibrated pumps. Plywood parts are precisely cut on a CNC machine. Each kit comes with a 37 page builders guide, a set of plans. Off Center Harbor host a 23 part video series on building the Fox Canoe as well.

Summer 2024

It’s high summer here in New England and that means, well it means lots of things, to many things really. We try to pack the long days full with trips in our van, kayak camping on the lakes and saltwater bays, backpacking and teaching.

The teaching is a joy partly because of the mood of the students and my fellow instructors and partly because of the beautiful places I get to stay and work. There are openings in 3 of my classes. Introduction to Woodworking , and a boat building class Traditional Plywood Boat Construction, both taught in August at the Wooden Boat School here in Maine. I’ll be working with HatchSpace in Vermont to lead a build your own Fox Canoe class in September.

Touch base or better yet sign up for a class. a week of boatbuilding or woodworking at theses perfect venues is wonderful way round out summer!
