Coeur d'Alene Wooden Boat Show 2014

The annual Coeur d'Alene Wooden Boat Show featured a wide range of kayaks, runabouts and large cruisers lined up along the Coeur d'Alene Resort's boardwalk where admirers could see the gleaming mahogany, polished brass and chrome and rumbling engines up close. The show closed Sunday, Aug. 17.
