Another Chum, Omer Stringers signature Chestnut

Not quite the whole story - abbreviated short from the company website.

The logo, as kool today as it was when it came out.


The Man himself.

The story below, along with images appears on the Carrying Place Canoe & Boat Works site, and is a more complete biography of the man. 



Chestnut Chum that reportedly belonged to Omer


Paddling display in the red canoe he was more well known for


Omers canoe that hangs in the visitors centre in Algonquin Park.


A nice original Chum we bought almost in our own backyard


No restoration work done, a nice example


Typical Chestnut details


Fine lines


Good solid ends


Arriving home, waiting to be done. We've done Chums before, but this one will be done up as a replica of Omers boat.
