I was considering power tools but I can't take very much wood off or the slightly recessed gunnel screws will get exposed. I am just taking down the knife-edge of the outwale a little before I finish it with,.....? Its pretty obvious the canoe was never paddled or else the original owner would have done this after ripping his knuckles open! I am leaning towards oiling instead of varnish. I know there are pros and cons for both but a penetrating waterproofing type finish sure seems the best,..HMM
