4Ft Cedar/Oak wood strip display canoe #284

Description: This canoe is for display only. Not for water use !!! Probably the last one this year… History This is canoe #284. I do not build 1000's of them as it is a hobby. Only about 4 or 5 this year. Please read my seller feedback on these boats. It pretty much sums it up. I build these in multiple trim packages. The trim on this canoe is a beautiful shade of southern Red Oak . It is installed on a western red cedar hull which makes for a beautiful combination. If it matches your decor there will not be another one any time soon. The #284 & my initials are burned into the hull under the bow deck for the record. This is a handcrafted wooden model of a wood strip canoe. This two seat canoe was very common along the rivers and lakes of the Adirondacks & the Boundary Waters area. All of my canoes are one of a kind as they are constructed just like the originals utilizing individual wood strips nailed around nine molds to create the shape of the finished boat. This is a beautiful canoe. The Red Oak trim on this canoe is contrasted throughout the gunwales, decks, and paddles. The outside gunwales are attached with brass screws which complement the beauty of the contrasting wood. Accent strips matching the trim package are also added to the sides and bottom which is a nice addition that you will not find on canoes this size. Both the bow and stern decks are also built from matching cedar with Oak accent strips for added detail and elegance. The seats were built like the originals with woven cane webbing installed on matching Oak frames. A center portaging yoke along with matching handmade paddles finish off the details. The package includes wall hangers, table stands, and paddles for no additional charge. Everything you need is included.   Construction Process  The canoe is handcrafted over multiple weeks due to the nature of the construction process. Each canoes utilize around 40 individual 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. Once complete the canoe is sanded and multiple coats of spar varnish are applied both inside and out resulting in a beautiful durable finish. Each canoe is unique and will ship immediately. Canoe is approximately 47" long x 8” wide. This one of a kind hand built classic canoe will accent any cabin, lodge or vacation home and provide a unique conversation piece for years to come.
