greybeard canoes & kayaks

Doghouse [dog-hous, dog-]   -noun       The place where canoe builders go for neglecting their household chores.

A quick post (before I vacuum and do the dishes).

It was a very productive weekend. I’ve run the strips to the point where I’m left with what is known as the football (for reasons that are evident in the picture below).

Here’s a picture of the canoe in profile.

So I’m left with a decision as to how to fill in the football. I’m leaning toward running a pair of strips down the centerline and then filling the halves with a herringbone pattern.

That’s something I’ll have to consider while vacuuming.
