How our Cedar Strip Canoes are Built
Cedar boards are carefully chosen for color, light, dark, or a blend (your choice); then dried to the proper moisture content. Boards are then ripped to ¼ in. thick by ¾ in. wide. There are no butt joints, or knots in my canoes. All clear cedar is used.
All boards are scarf joined to create a nice even flow of wood color. Then one at a time, all wood strips are carefully bent and beveled over a form. Glued and stapled to create the hull. Staples are pulled out, the hull is then sanded to a flawless surface. At this point outside of the hull is sized with epoxy, glassed with 6 oz. fiberglass cloth and 3 coats clear transparent epoxy, carefully sanded, then varnished with 3 coats of top quality U.V. marine varnish.
Our canoes and paddles have been time and guide tested for maneuverability, strength and durability.
