    If you have ever built a strip canoe, you'll want this book for the designs as well as the additional techniques for making the cockpit coaming, hatches, and decking. And, if you already have some of the building skills, getting the low-down from a builder whose work hangs in museums is likely to improve your own technique a notch or two.
