We recently had a customer buy some of our cold bendable compressed white oak for rib restoration work on several Lyman boats. I could see excellent application for knee replacements as well. Please feel free to visit our website at www.extremewoodbending.com, and I'd look forward to your follow-up if this capability appeals to you.

I am a longtime Vintage Paper Dealer who is phasing out after 30 years of selling to museums,libraries, companies,websites and private collectors on almost any subject you can think of. Many have their own archives where they preserve this wonderful material and also frame for display and/or give as gifts. I have a large collection of Vintage paper related to Lyman Boats....and others... ..mostly articles and ads from all publications and eras. including some spectacular Yachting Magazines from the 1930's on. I would be happy to send you a few items to look over before deciding to purchase..I have always done business in this manner and it has worked out for everyone...I save writing detailed lists and you get to view the actual material before you decide to purchase. {Prices are all under ten dollars... I also offer a lot price should you keep it all.} Please contact me even if you are not interested so I can pass this on to the next person on my list. Thank you, Sandra Baker Searsport, Maine

My grandfather had a lyman about a 1955 vintage. I can remember him taking me fishing out on Lake Erie via the Grand River in Painesville. Later he traded that boat in around 1965 for a Thompson which he later sold. I wish he would'nt have sold it like he did but now in retrospect where would that boat been kept in during the winter months since the place where it was kept was sold 15 years ago. By the way in my email address; that person's is or was my grandfather. All the best: Glenn M. Simpson

In the mid 60's we owned 2 Lymans. My mothers was a 1959 16' powered by a Merc 450 (45hp). The odd thing about that boat was that the steering wheel was on the port side of the boat. It is the only boat I've ever seen then & now with the wheel on the left side. My Lyman was a 14' powered by a 1963 25 hp Gale. The wheel was driven from the back seat. I'm still into boating: yes a fiberglass 20' Sea-Ray. Still miss the ride of those wooden boats! Please feel free to e-mail me.

My father previously owned a 1971 23' wooden Lyman which he fished out of and enjoyed and lovingly sanded and revarnished, etc for 30 years. He ended up selling it several years ago due to his fathers health problems and just bought a 1973 24' fiberglass Lyman with varnished teak wood trim. We are trying to find out what the original captains chairs were like but there is no original paperwork. Any info you might steer me to would be helpful.
