Custom Wood-Strip Canoes to fit your adventure. The Traveler, due to its width, is the most stable canoe in the group. This boat is designed for almost anything you want to throw at it. It handles great fully loaded with gear going across a rough lake or empty for fishing and exploring those small elusive lakes that no one else frequents. It Tracks well, yet when needed it handles well in moderate white water. The Mediator handles much like its bigger sister (The Traveler) but with a streamlined design, it tracks through the water a little easier because of its width. At 16 feet, the Access turns quicker than the longer boats and still maintains a strong tracking ability. Modeled after The Prospector (an old standard of the North Country) the Guide is a bit more rounded on the bottom than the others, but a great canoe for that individual that knows what he wants.

White Wood Craft is a small (one man, two dog) shop that builds cedar and canvas canoes, paddles, the occasional piece of furniture and, from time to time, a duck decoy or two. I mostly use locally sourced, milled and air-dried Eastern White Cedar, Ash, Maple and Spruce. I am currently building a run of 17 foot Goose River guide canoes. These boats are based on the famous guide canoes of builders of a century ago, such as B.N. Morris, E.M. White, Old Town, etc. I have modernized them a bit by lowering the bows and tweaking the shape for less windage and easier roof rack transport, and a bit more secondary stability. The ribs and planks are eastern white cedar, the rails, stems, yoke, thwarts and seat frames are ash, and the decks are maple. The seats are hand woven with medium-fine cane. I use copper tacks and silicon bronze fasteners throughout the boat for both strength and corrosion resistance. The hull is covered with number ten (15 oz) U.S. made cotton duck, filled with a silica and linseed oil mixture and dried completely before finishing with Epifanes paint and varnish. Rockport, Maine

Welcome to the web site of the Wooden Canoe Builders' Guild, an organization dedicated to the promotion and celebration of wooden canoes and kayaks. In part, the members of the Guild accomplish this mission through the repair and restoration of cedar canvas canoes, cedar strip canoes and other types of wooden canoes. We are involved in the construction of new wooden canoes for sale and the teaching of the methods involved in this work. In this website we will tell you a bit about how cedar canvas canoes are built, our construction standards for new canoe construction and canoe restoration. You can learn about canoe care and maintenance, canoe history, interesting individuals involved in canoe construction and view many pictures of canoes both old, new and restored.
