You may wonder why he would want to build a canoe when he could easily just buy one. Mr. Hobby has looked at several canoes and boats, but he hasn’t found one that totally meets his needs.   By building his own, he can modify the plans to his own specifications.

When I say, my husband has too many hobbies, I am not joking.  Being city raised as I was, he was already an avid hunter when we met in high school.  I found it all to be pretty interesting.   Ha, little did I know at the time where this would all lead!

As time went by, his hobbies branched out to include flint napping, arrow making, trapping, tanning hides and foraging the woods for edibles, just to name a few.  Today, I am still fascinated at the things he does and I love seeing him pursue his passions.

I could fill a blog with the things Mr. Hobby does, and I seriously thought about doing just that when I began blogging (hence the name of this blog).   But I digress, there’s plenty of time to fill you in on the horrors interesting life we lead.  Back to the canoe . . .

 A few days after the book showed up, Mr. Hobby came home with several sheets of plywood.  The building was about to begin!
