    • Preserving a Rare Form of American Art
God bless Jerry Stelmok. His book covers the nearly lost art of building the white cedar Maine guide canoe and it is a welcome addition to the archives of American craftsmanship. If you've ever seen a form sitting inverted in a workshop and then looked at a finished canoe propped up on sawhorses in the front yard you've wondered how the former came from the latter. The men who make these boats are called for their craftsmanship, not their articulateness and even the best often have difficulty explaining just how the process works. I once asked Fred Reckards how he got his canoes off the Templeton mold since the tumblehome held the form in such a death grip. He said, "Lot easier with the twenty. The twelve is pretty tight. Maybelle helps me get them off." And that's all the explanation I got. Jerry Stelmok puts the complex construction process into words and conveys the prep, the fabrication, and the finishing in an articulate and accessible language. The photographs belong in the Smithsonian; they are vital to understanding the process. I'm going to carry my copy around until I cross paths with Mr. Stelmok and I look forward to shaking his hand and getting his signature on the title page. ... show more

    • Super book by the Master of traditional canoe building
Extremely well written and illustrated. Rare that an expert is also an expert writer and illustrator.

    • Jerry Stelmok is one of the premier wood/canvas canoe builders!!
Excellent guide book!! I’m preparing to restore an old (1953), wood/canvas canoe. Having a guide to the building process is more valuable than many people would think!!

    • Building the Maine Guide Canoe by Stelmok (Mr. Old Town)
Great Book for those who love the classic wooden canoes. But what you may not realize is the fact that Jerry Stelmok is really Mr. Old Town himself! Yes, i know what i speak about as he is the man that builds all the wooden Old Town canoes today in his shop! As a new member of WCHA, i have learned that Jerry is also a recognized leader of that fine organization called The Wooden Canoe Heritage Association. You can't go wrong but remember your paddle! ... show more

    • Help offered here:
Ask someone who has built many canoes for advice and you might get advice this clear! The cartoons are great as well. Good info on poling upstream. I have broken light paddles doing what should be done with a pole.
