Canoecraft's video: Lauren Pacho Reid Shaeffer s Bob s Special 3rd Place Canoecraft on the Water Winner

Lauren Pacho and Reid Shaeffer took third place in the Canoecraft on the Water competition. When the couple moved from Florida to Ohio, they took on canoe building as a new hobby. The results speak for themselves - notice the beautiful malachite inlay decks and matching paddles. "Our maiden voyage, featured in this film, took place in Hocking Hills, OH on Christmas Eve. We were unable to make it home to our families for the holidays, but being able to take our canoe out on the water was the best Christmas present we could have given ourselves. In building our canoe, we gained new skills, an entire workshop of tools now housed in our living room, and most importantly we learned a lot about ourselves and about each other. While we could be happy with Bob alone, we have both been bitten by the cedar strip bug and have already purchased our copy of Kayakcraft. We can't wait to get started on our next project and hope to encourage others to build a boat of their own."
