Well this is my version of a swamp pirogue. It is built from sinker cypress 3/4" thick. I am a slow builder inspired by all you guys on this forum. I am an OLD GEEZER plagued with an injury. The grand kids and my son do all the lifting. I try to involve them so they can do this too ,if they are interested. Teach them to build and they will have boats a lifetime. Build it for them and they have 1 boat.

Thanks guys. I still don't know how to post pictures right. My wife helped on these but I don't know what I'm doing yet. The other picture was removed in the serious boat question forum for some reason. (mabye too big or just in the wrong place). I sure don't want to displease any one here. I tried to down size it some more and edited it. If that was wrong, I'm sorry and please remove it once more , moderator . Please . Ya'll a bunch of good guys that have helped me a lot by answering questions even before I have to ask. I will try to post some more when I build up enough courage .

As far as I know .. No One on here removed it , I sure didn't. All I could find was this one in the questions section and it has shruk from the original size. If my memory serves me right.

Pereaux,
Not to worry my friend. If you have pleased yourself, you have pleased me. Let your thoughts flow onto the printed page and hit the submit button. The only time I have had my wife proof read anything was when I was on pain pills and going back and correcting was just overwhelming to me. Sometimes she could hardly do it for laughing at what I was trying to write. Don't worry about lack of comquter skills. If you have a problem just ask. One of the smart a$$es
will be more than happy to help. I have certainly had help, some asked for and some not. I was probally on here for a year before I could do a quote or put a picture on here. Never fear, we are here for ya. :shock: :?

Bob is due retraining most any week now. He is in sad shape. He keeps thinking he's sane and accepted here. We try to not let him know the truth. He doesn't drool as much as he used to, and (often) needs only one diaper a day now. I'm sure you'll understand.
That pirogue is one beautiful boat. Can you post more photos of the boats? That second one intrigues me. Design source, plans, more photos please!
BOB! Does your mamma san know you talk like that??!! She'd wash your mouth out with buffalo lye soap!Wannabe said:Jack,
Seppun waga ashi. :shock:
Sorry if I did not phrase that right. And my Momma was Mexican. Dad did not really want me to speak Jap. Wouldn't let me do no kind of Jap stuff. Said I was American so act like it.
I was just trying to say what a fine feller you are Jack :mrgreen:

It's of no consequence, Br'r bear. He just questioned my ancestry - and found it to be severely lacking. I'll get him at the next Rendezvous. We'll put Miracle Whip in his beer. Anyway, it'll LOOK like Miracle whip.
