Feather Wood Canoe
Feather Wooden Canoe
Weighing only 49lbs, the ultralight feather wood canoe is as much a pleasure to carry as it is to paddle. Ideal for fishing or a lazy Sunday afternoon paddle, the Feather is a stable canoe that is one of our most popular sellers. Instead of brass tacks, the feather wood canoe uses contact epoxy to bond the planking to the ribs and features a distinct, signature look that’s created by using Western Red and Eastern White cedar. Only 40 are produced each year.
Age old woodcraft skills of the Native American tribes provide the foundation for the development of the wood canoe. When faced with shortages of Native canoes, resourceful early Americans borrowed heavily from the birchbark canoe construction and design details to develop the first modern wood canoe prototypes. Using woodsense, readily available material and clever ingenuity, they transformed the one-of-a-kind birchbarks into practical crafts that could be readily produced to exacting specifications. In the short 125 years that trace the white man's influence on these canoes, evolution has made them faster, lighter and more durable, but has left intact the fundamental eleganced of the basic design. Built of renewable organic materials, they are durable, easily repaired and built to last a lifetime.
