Varnishing

Randy designed and built the seats. The cane and the birdseye maple yolk were purchased, however.
This is what in the inside of the canoe looked like when the varnishing was completed. Three coats of varnish were put on the inside and outside. Between coats, the surface was wet-sanded using 400 grit sandpaper so that the finish would be perfectly smooth. We used the highest quality high glass marine varnish.
