Our canoe models make a great retirement gift for that canoeist in your life!

Our Custom Crafted Cedar Strip Canoes

Handcrafted of Western Red Cedar strips (varying hues and lengths) installed "level" ("staple-less"construction available - see canoe models below). Gunwales, decks and thwart(s) are made of select Ash hardwood.

We use epoxy resin and 6 ounce fiberglass cloth for the sheathing, installed as a full covering inside & out with an additional layer on the bottom, up to the 5 inch waterline for extra strength and durability. All exposed wood surfaces are sealed with clear epoxy for superior protection from moisture. The hull and trim are finished with 4 coats of UV inhibiting marine spar varnish.

Included With Our Canoes:

·         Two splined (pressed into frame) caned canoe seats (exception: one seat for SENECA 140)

·         One standard style carrying yoke (center thwart). 18' and longer models have two additional thwarts

·         3/4"diameter copper tube epoxied through at each stem for painter line attachment / vehicle tie down

·         Model name (logo decal) at each side of bow, "your name"and manufacture date decal inside of hull

·         One year workmanship warranty

Available Options:

·         Additional splined (pressed into frame) caned canoe seats

·         Our hand-woven (into the frame) plastic-caned "Trapezoid" canoe seats in Ash, Cherry or Mahogany

·         Our "Deep Curve"carrying yoke (center thwart) in Ash, Cherry or Mahogany

·         Accent stripes

·         Additional/Custom decals or graphics

·         Matching custom-sized paddles

·         "White Cedar" stripped hull

·         Staple-less construction (eliminates thousands of "pin-holes" and "black dots"on hull)

·         Scuppered inwales (notched inwales appear as those of found on "ribbed" canoes)

·         Cherry or Mahogany gunwales, decks and thwart(s)

·         Contour stripping (strips follow sheerline...not installed "level")

Our custom crafted cedar strip canoes require 50% downpayment of canoe & options cost, with balance and any pre-paid shipping & handling charges paid before shipment or delivery. Free completed canoe delivery within 50 mile radius of Rochester, NY (USA only).

8% Sales Tax will added to all prices for items delivered to New York State addresses.

Our canoes are built on a "first come, first served" basis, and are placed on the building schedule when downpayment is received. Please plan accordingly, as 8-10 weeks is the usual time required after your deposit is received until shipment of the canoe to you.
