T & G Woodworking
The Canoe Shop
Our canoes are made from straight grain, knot free, western red cedar. Each strip is routed with a modified tongue and groove, called a canoe joint, that allows the strips to fit together tightly on the canoe's curves. The hull is covered with 6-oz. fiberglass and epoxy inside and out and finished with three coats of marine varnish, providing UV protection.
Seat frames, gunwales, decks, and trim are typically made of ash, but other hardwoods are available. Solid brass half oval strips protect the stems, and all other hardware is also brass.
Seat options include hand woven cane, either natural or plastic, as well as pre-woven cane.
Contact us to discuss other options or possibilities, including milling your lumber, producing a "kit" for you to build, or building specific parts for your project.
Prices start at $2,500.
