planking and white cedar ribs. The size and shape of the ribs depends on
the desired weight and use of the canoe. (Please see our Price List for rib options.)
Base price includes: Ash trim (includes inwales, outwales, decks, thwarts,
and seats), 2 sheet caned seats, standard size and spacing of ribs, clinch
nailed with brass tacks, all bolts and screws are brass or silicone bronze
(and will match on a given canoe), brass stem bands. Please note that a
keel is not standard on our canoes.
We offer a wide variety of custom features. Choose your trim, types of seating, removable thwarts, carrying yolks, colors, designs, varnishes, and sailing rigs.

This 12' canoe is ideal for the solo paddler but can also be outfitted with two seats. I built the first one of these for my wife and now she always leaves me on the shore with the children when we go canoeing. Hmmm....

Elf 15' Experienced paddlers Special TR Model now available This 15 foot free-style canoe was inspired by an antique Canadian Canoe Company model #32 (also built as the Chestnut Chum) which was brought to me for restoration and which I loved as soon as I put my paddle in the water.

Florin 16'9" and 18' Mini Flat Stern Canoe This is a rare and unique style based on a one-of-a-kind flat stern canoe from the Florin Canoe Company formerly from Carson City, MI. The wine-glass transom is small enough so that the Florin paddles like a regular canoe but can also be used with a small motor.
