WHAT's New?

November 20, 2020 -

Hi!

Well, looks like the season is a wrap! Indeed, it’s been a strange year and luckily GLBW has been able to weather the storm so far. With summer camps down and general uncertainties, we definitely had less commissioned work over the past summer, but the shop is now brimming as we hunker down for hibernation!

We’re still working on the 16’ "Titmouse" sailboat rebuild; we have four boats from Kilcoo Camp in for some minor R+M; also two nice Chestnuts; and we’re expecting a 17' Nominingue soon.

Two rather special hulls: and Old Towne from 1905; and a William English plank-and-batton 16’ that once belonged to Farley Mowat!

Along with constant shop upgrades and efficiencies, hopefully we can get a new Kilcoo-Minto hull off the mould, and we’re also planning a limited run of LiquidSwords paddles!

We're also working with TorontoStreetCats and the Toronto Humane Society to produce feeding stations and Kitty condos for all dems outdoor Floofs! Check out TSH for ways you can help out or adopt!

GLBW is currently running a wait list, but please do get in touch if you have a project for us! Let's get ready for spring 2021!

This website is constantly being updated - we've just uploaded some new pics of shop cats and canoes in use, so keep checking back (if you see Kitty, it's under construction)! If you really miss the old site or are looking for photos of past projects, most of the old photo content is preserved on GLBWs Facebook page.

Stay warm and stay safe. THANKS!
