I really like that top one with the brown bone Charlie.
Gtr those are nice canoes. Funny I never think “Buck” when I think of canoes but maybe I should.
Thanks. I never thought of Buck and canoe until I saw the brown wood, Then I stared finding the others scattered around the interwebs. Buck has actually produced some nice canoes. I believe all of them are imports, which turns a lot of collectors off.
I have a few Buck canoes, I posted a MOP Buck canoe a couple of pages back.
Here are a few more. The top one is a canoe/moose (is it a canoose or a moonoe?) made in Idaho Falls with mastodon ivory handles and Chuck Buck's signature etched on the blade and the second one in an import with artificial tortoise shell handles.

Canoose! Moonoe! Charlie, I'm getting an education.

Here's an older Boker canoe that is a little different from the norm. I would call it a 3 blade, cattle canoe. Slanted, grooved and pinched bolsters. Bone handles and 3 3/4" closed.

I commented on that one the first time I saw it in this thread some time ago and I've been waiting for you to show it again, Charlie. Turns out I still love it just as much or more all these years later! Thanks for showing it again...Man, that Wharncliffe Canoose really speaks to me.

Thanks Q. I know that mine is not the only one they made but I have yet to see another one. I don't know how many were made either. I'll have to do some more research and see what I can find out. Below is the info. from the listing when I found it on ebay:
