With summer in the Pacific Northwest starting to show, the Shwood crew has been getting out and exploring every chance we can get! It’s no surprise Eric (Singer) recently showed up at the shop with a busted old canoe strapped to the top of his Squareback. The craft originally cost $50 and with a quick trip to the hardware store for supplies was transformed into a top notch water vessel. Check out photos throughout the build process below:

Cool rehabilitation of something that might just have sat around in someone’s garage for another 20 years! Nice paddles too!
Now that’s the way to rock a used canoe, nice work and what a great way to re-introduce her to the water again, and that view of Hood doesn’t hurt either!
Nice Job
Wow amazing work! Not only do you create beautiful sunglasses, but paddles and refurb canoe
