In 2007 I started work on a cedar strip canoe and just got around to completing it. It is a 17 1/2 ft Winisk from Green Valley -- Noah's carries the plans and kit I think. Though I purchased the plans direct from Green Valley, I purchased a lot of the initial supplies at Noah's and so thought I'd mention it here. Here is a link to my web site that discusses the project, along with about 30 pictures taken along the way and a lot of notes on different steps, costs, materials, etc.:
