Also included are directions for making handwoven cane seats and attractive lightweight, stalwart paddles.
Over many years of experimenting and refining his methods, Gil offers an extensive listing of sources for lumber, tools and supplies. His contemporary construction methods augment the traditional wood strips with fiberglass and WEST SYSTEM epoxy.
