Kurzbeschreibung
Joe Seliga has been hand building canvas-on-wood canoes in his Ely, Minnesota, workshop for more than 60 years. Seliga's work is considered the best-of-the-best among canoe aficionados and wooden boat builders alike. This all-color celebration of hand craftsmanship and rustic elegance details from start-to-finish the construction of Seliga's canoes, from selecting the right woods through the project's inaugural launch. Within these pages the legacy of this master craftsman is passed on for all to enjoy.

A New Appreciation for the Work Behind the Beauty
24. März 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I stopped by Joe's house in Ely to have him autograph my copy. We had never met before but he greeted me warmly, offered me cookies and a drink, showed me his shop, and added me to his list of people who want a canoe. This man is a national treasure and his canoes will be timeless heirlooms.
This book goes into great detail on how he crafts each of his beautiful, rustic, canvas-covered wooden canoes by hand and has given me a bold appreciation for how much work goes into just one canoe. I have no idea how he ever made a living charging only a couple thousand per canoe.
The author Jerry Stelmok did a fine job of breaking a complicated process down into simple text that anyone can enjoy. And National Geographic photographer Deborah Sussex filled the book with enticing photos.
The book sits on my office wall along with other non-fictional works about the woods of Northern Minnesota, and this one by far gets the most attention. It's a wonderful addition to anyone's library.
Enjoy!

A great look at one of the last masters of an-almost lost art
5. Februar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I found this book in the library and immediately fell in love with this man's passion for his life's work. As an owner of a Cedar/Canvas canoe (not a Seliga, unfortunately) I know the connection that he feels with creating them...more than just a how-to about old canoe construction techniques, it's also a "Why I bother doing" book.
RIP Joe...may you always find in Heaven a calm lake to paddle and a flat portage to carry.

Okay, so I'm not really a kid.
12. Juni 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As a camper at Camp Widjwagan (a YMCA camp outside of Ely, Minnesota) who has used Joe Seliga's canoes many times, I have to say that this is an excellent source of information about canoe making. He was a skilled artist who made magnificent canoes, and I'm honored to say I have used one of his own. So, thank you, Joe Seliga.
