About Me:
My apprentice River was the Arkansas, learning to Kayak and row commercial trips in rafts , mainly on Brown's Canyon of Ark. around 1978. I've built "stitch/glue" dories since 1989, and rowed dories commercially in Grand Canyon since 1991. My business, "High Desert Dories" has been in existence since 1993, building mainly Colorado River Style, White water (decked) dories, fashioned after Jerry Briggs, modified Rogue River Special Boats, (designed and built for Martin Litton's Fleet used in Grand Canyon since the 60's. ) Along w/ custom boat orders, I offer kits and shaped hulls for folks to finish, repairs and restorations.
Wooden boats, specifically dories have "shaped" my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

    Good Day,

    How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:(mrsstellaabudheir@gmail.com ) for the full details.

    Have a nice day

    Thanks God bless.

    Stella.
