Brian was an absolute pleasure to work with right from our very first meeting to discuss my needs and the concept of my spirit canoe, "Rain", to the very last moment I left with "Rain" safely stowed on her trailer.
His creativity, craftsmanship, commitment to detail, willingness to collaborate, and enthusiasm for this challenging project were extraordinary making the entire experience for me great fun, and something I will never forget.
Rain is a phenomenal canoe - little, light, spry in the water and yet solid and stable. She turns heads wherever she is. She is a joy to paddle. The custom paddle, "Lightning" is an exquisite piece of art that just happens to be fully functional and accomplishes just what I need when I need it. "Wind", the sail just adds a little quirky touch and fun to my outings while letting me take full advantage of a breeze to cover more ground with less effort.
I cannot thank Brian enough for this glorious canoe and all of the little extras he (and is wonderful mom, Margot, and right paw, Skipper) provided on the day of pick up. Our paddle on the Oxbow will always be a special memory.

Brian is one of the most conscientious and hardworking people I know. His quality workmanship is second to none. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a high quality canoe build or repair.

Brian took our old beat up, much loved canoe and transformed it into a classic beauty. We are thrilled with the results and are more than pleased with the timely and professional way in which it all happened. Thank you Brian!

Brian did beautiful work on the restoration of our grandparents' 1941 Peterborough rowing skiff. His workmanship was outstanding, replacing the gunwales and keel and restoring the decks. Very much appreciated, Brian, thank you. Doug, Lorraine, JoAnne, Allan and Nancy.
