Our range of canoes has expanded again, check out our newest and most unique canoe design the Blackwater 16. Plans are currently being put together and are far enough along that they can be offered to experienced builders now. The study plan is available as a free download from our study plans page.
Header rendering is the Muskokan 18, its design has been completed, more information on this design and patterns to build this project are available, please contact us if interested.
NOTE: Weight of finished boats can and will vary from those cited, this is particularly true of the canoes as building methods, materials and technique can vary widely from boat to boat. As you will see the Vuntut 12 and 14 are listed as being close in weight this is the result of the methods used to construct the prototypes.
CNC cut molds are available as on option for all canoes, prices vary from boat to boat cost of a set of molds for an average canoe is around $350. Rapid Start Mold System can also be purchased for each of the boats.
See the note on SHORTY KITS on our home page for another option available to you when ordering a kit. Kits can still be ordered with full length strips.
The Blackwater 16 stands out from other canoes on offer, it was modeled on a historic design the Ojibwe longnose canoe as found in "The Skin and Bark Canoes of North America" as our design guide, it was also inspired by the desire to bring the logo of the Blackwater Coffee to life.
