This beautiful Canoe is handcrafted from strips of Siberian Red Cedar wood, White Oak or other on
You choice. The hull is then covered with an invisible layer of clear fiber glass cloth which is bonded with
watertight clear epoxy resin and is then coated with marine varnish. This combination of fiberglass & epoxy is very strong &
abrasion resistant and completely transparent so that the beauty of the wood
shows through while protecting it for generations.
This Plank Strip Canoe is completely hand built by skillful and creative craftsmen, using a process
called Strip-building which is a method of boat building commonly used for canoes and kayaks, but also
suitable for larger boats. The process involves securing narrow, flexible strips of wood edge-to-edge
around temporary forms. The strips are secured to each other with glue. The roughly covered hull is
then smoothed and reinforced with fiberglass cloth & epoxy before removing it from the forms. The
inside is then smoothed and similarly reinforced.
This Canoe is lightweight and weighs only 28 kg, one person can easily carry the canoe. When you are
not out enjoying the canoe on the water, the canoe can make a striking display. Included with this cedar
wood strip Canoe boat is a show grade wooden Canoe paddle.
