Large Display Cedar Strip Canoe NO Ribs Model 9.8'This museum quality, highly detailed, Cedar Strip Built Canoe display model without ribs is brand new, fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit).
The
Canoe is manufactured by "Woodenboat USA" (formally Grande Canoes) a
division of our fully assembled model ship & boats company OMH Inc.
Woodenboat USA has more than 30 years of wood working experience and a
passion for the water crafts they build. All Woodenboat USA Canoes
& Kayaks come with a 6 month limited warranty against defects in
materials or workmanship. This
beautiful Canoe is handcrafted from beautiful strips of 100% Canadian
western red cedar wood (a very rare, soft yet very strong timber).
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 Cedar-strip canoe model is completely hand built by skillful and creative master 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 epoxy 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.
The canoe is built exactly the same as our full size canoes and is very seaworthy, but it is small only 9.87 feet long and is meant for display. It would make an ideal canoe for young kids, the canoe only weighs 24 lbs (a benefit of strip building). The canoe is built without ribs to show off the beautiful cedar strip construction. Included with this model is a cedar wooden paddle.
Each canoe is uniquely identified by a serial number, which is laser
cut to the hull of each canoe. We are able to identify
the production date of a canoe, the material that was used on the canoe, the craftsmen who worked on each area of the canoe, the
individual who inspected the canoe and also the professional packaging
staff. Quality is our number 1 priority, thus all steps are thoroughly
supervised from the beginning to the end of making each canoe. This display canoe measures 118.5" long from bow (front) to stern (rear). It's a show stopping canoe model that is sure to be a conversation piece for any large room, lodge, restaurant or pub.
