Cedar strip Wooden Canoe 16' no ribs

Description

This beautiful canoe was built using a classic Canadian design, the Chestnut Prospector.
It is extremely maneuverable and has the capacity to carry large loads.  It is 16' long, 14" deep, has a maximum beam of 35" and weighs only 58 pounds.
The hull is constructed of white cedar with an accent strip of redwood.  It is fiberglassed inside and out for strength and durability, using West System epoxy.  The thwarts, gunnel, seats and endcaps are white ash.  The seats have been caned with a plastic caning
to prevent sagging.
Canoe was built in 1998 by the Sapak family and has been on display in my office since built.
