ABOUT

Hoosier Woodworks is a small, one-man shop that specializes in unique home improvement and woodworking projects. I grew up in the construction trades before spending eight years at sea with the US Navy, serving aboard a frigate and attack submarines. After 15 years working in the speciality outdoor gear retail industry (canoes, kayaks, backpacking, etc.), I left retail to be more involved in raising our two children and to satisfy a life-long dream of owning my own business.

I divide my time between doing custom woodwork, cabinets and built-ins, restoring antique canoes and selling items online at www.hoosierwoodworks.etsy.com, and local art galleries.

Rolling On Filler

The new canvas on this canoe gets three coats of filler that will provide durablity and waterproofness.

Rolling On Filler

After the roller I wear canvas mittens and smooth out the filler 'wax on, wax off' style.
