Hand-Crafted Wooden Canoes for Sale

We are currently offering a 17.5 foot canoe in the tradition of a guide canoe, for much the same purpose as a Timber Cruiser needed when traveling the lakes, rivers and streams as they evaluated the woods on behalf of their lumber companies. A modest amount of rocker ensures mobility in fast water, while sharper entries with a nice run allows for the volume of gear needed for a weekend, or even weeks. White cedar ribs and planking of either white or western red cedar, provide the basis for a boat that can be built to the desires of the purchaser. Hardwood gunwales in ash, cherry or walnut and seats/decks/thwarts in the same or other woods such as plain or figured maple will make both a serviceable and attractive boat. Many options are available, based on your preferences. Filled canvas with several coats of premium marine enamel complete the boat, and provide yet more options.

We will soon be offering a 16' pleasure canoe based on a 100 year old design, with an elegant upswept sheerline, generous tumble home and other features unique to the early days of canoe design and manufacturing, again with a variety of woods and finishes limited only by your imagination and budget.

Custom built wanigans are our specialty, in a variety of woods and finishes. Brows some of our finished products, and feel free to tell us what woods and combinations we can build for you. Built with the same methods are care as a canoe, they are exactly like a section from a full sized boat. Take them out on the water, or keep them at home as furnishings for a variety of uses. Prices start at $150.00 for cedar, and go up accordingly with woods used.
