All the items I typically have for sale: kits, plans, covers are marked as sold out while we revamp the website and sort out the new shop space. I prefer sold out to backordered, so I am not feeling rushed through projects.
Plans should be available late October. Hoping to be able to ship boats kits in December. There are a few Fox kits available for pickup in Camden ME. Here is more information on the Fox Kit. If you would rather build a Fox Canoe in a class with me, that will be next summer.
Fall 2026
Summer is in the rearview mirror. The season was full and fun and it just flew by. Now we’re into fall and I’m sorting out what projects I’ll take on this winter. First up is getting ready for the winter with outside task like painting, house repairs and fire wood at the top of my list.
Last winter/spring we moved our shop and home from South Berwick Maine to Camden Maine and than dove right into summer’s schedule of traveling and teaching. Now it’s time to settle in, still sorting out what my new pace of work might look like.
I started framing houses in the mid 70’s and I’ve been working wood in some form or another since then. Fifty years of mostly self-employed designing and making. It’s time for a break, which I’m calling a sabbatical since I'm reluctant to use the R word just yet. I know going forward I’ll keep teaching, at least for a few more years, and I’m doing a lot more writing; sharing some of what I’ve learned over almost 5 decades of working. I suspect I’ll also take on some client commissions if the project is appealing enough, but my main design/build focus this winter will certainly be custom cabinets and built-ins in our new home.
There is a lot to do there and I'm excited about jumping into the fray.
