[@josephhouseman9482]

Howdy Foxie, good to see you're still kicking and still building canoes. I'm Joe Houseman, I was your neighbor on the Big Fork for a brief time about 40 years ago.

Knew Ray's parents and his family. Knew Bill Hafeman, too. When we lived up there, a birch-bark canoe was just $100. Bill said when he asked $25 he sold a few, but when he raised the price to $100, he couldn't make them fast enough.

Ray! Good to see you. And if you see this note, send me an email ([e-mail]). It's been too long! :) Hope you and Kristi are doing well. Deb and I are still in Hoosierville and enjoying life. Hope to hear from you before long. Best. - les

is birch tree rare? just wondering how expensive it is to make

[@timothylongmore7325]

Birch trees are not rare. Skills to build canoe are rare. These craft cost about 5k to have built.

[@RidgedSky]

It comes from a tree
