Eric Junkins, a junior at Orono High School, complete a 14' handmade cedar strip canoe in a technology systems class. The independent study project was done in the Orono High School Tech Lab. In August of 1992, Eric selected boards at a cedar mill. He then stripped them out, attached the trips to a form, sanded it to shape, fiberglassed it, and applied eight coats of epoxy inside and out and sanded between each coat. Approximately 400 hours were put into the boat. Eric Junkins is the son of Ronald Junkins, Hudson, Maine and grandson of Chet and Priscilla Junkins of Hampden, Maine.
