Cedar Strip Canadian Canoe handcrafted by Edward Gray at The Wood Hut Workshop 2009.

This beautiful hand crafted Candia Strip Canoe is the result of a life time ambition to make a classic traditional style canoe with stunning lines made from modern space age materials.

At 16 feet long and with a 3 foot beam the canoe is fast and stable.
The gentle rocker shape lends the canoe to both white water and open water canoeing.
I personally constructed this canoe from carefully prepared Western Red Cedar which is sheathed with 3 layers of light close weaved fibre glass and clear epoxy resin which allows the beauty of the wood to show through. This method of construction results in an extremely strong light weight canoe
All the seating frames are made from Oak and the cane seats have been hand woven from a synthetic cane which will not stretch
This canoe has been used only twice on Loch Tay and on open sea on the west coast of Scotland and performed beautifully on both occasions
Needless to say I spent more time talking to admirers than I actually spent in the canoe
There are a few minor and I mean minor scuffs on the under side which if I still have her in the spring will roll a new coat of epoxy over when warmer
