History This is a handcrafted wooden model of a turn of the century wood strip canoe. This two seat canoe was very common along the rivers and lakes of the Adirondacks, Boundary Waters area and the Pacific Northwest. All of my canoes are one of a kind as they are constructed just like the originals utilizing individual western red cedar strips nailed around nine molds to create the shape of the finished boat. The beauty and diversity of western red cedar is what makes my canoes unique and unmatched for beauty by any other type cedar. Inside the Canoe All trim on this canoe are made from solid Peruvian Walnut . The outside gunwales are attached with brass screws which complement the beauty of the contrasting wood. Both the bow and stern decks are also built from Peruvian Walnut for added detail and elegance. The seats were built like the originals with woven cane webbing installed on a Walnut hardwood frame for strength. A center portaging yoke along with matching handmade paddles finish off the inside detail. Construction Process The canoe is handcrafted over multiple weeks due to the nature of the construction process. Each canoes utilize over 40 individual cedar strips which must be set and cured before adding the next strip. The canoe is constructed in a secure mold throughout the process to ensure the integrity of the design.
