Cypress Pirogue Plans: A Detailed Guide to Building Your Own Pirogue - Paperback

by Nicholas Allen Poret (Author)

Everyone from Louisiana seems to remember that cypress pirogue boat Pawpaw kept in his barn. Cypress pirogues have since become a relic of the past. Most of them were built out of necessity, so special attention was paid to materials and craftsmanship to ensure a long lasting product. Modern polymers have allowed quality and craftsmanship to be replaced by speed and convenience. This combination usually equates to an inferior product. Unfortunately, the craft of building a Cypress Pirogue is becoming a dying profession. The goal of this book is to preserve that art by providing clear plans on how to build a quality Cypress Pirogue that can be cherished, and passed down for generations.
