Bob Arthur's magnificient ACCENT STRIPS -one of a kind and only 20 pairs made each year. Many hundreds of pieces of wood in each one-very distinct feature on any canoe. Sold in pairs 18 feet long but shipped in 9 foot lengths with a finger joint to be glued together before adding onto your canoe project. |
prices range from $300.00 to 880.00 |
Over the years, we have built most of the canoes featured in Ted Moores' CANOECRAFT and our products work. In the image above, you can see a 16' Prospector about half planked up.
Below, the same canoe is seen with the bottom strips - much shorter at this point- closing over one side of the midline.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The strips are made of western red cedar; they are FULL LENGTH (to 20') and CLEAR. The grain structure is VERTICAL GRAIN on the flat faces--essential for ease of shaping and sanding. The strips arrive in bundles of EIGHT STRIPS all of which came from one plank and are taped together exactly as they lay in the original board.
The strips measure 1/4" (6 mm) x 13/16 " x 16-20 feet long. There are 64 strips in a package; large girth canoes (Prospector and Nomad) will require one extra bundle of 8 strips.
(tube is 6" diameter x 18' long--holds up to 70 strips, gunwale set, stem stock, stem bands and a shoe keel)

Feature Strips and Geometric Patterns
*******************************************************************
New in 2009--Bob Arthur's AMAZING ACCENT STRIPS ! Pricing Information on the chart below.
Each strip built watercraft is going to be unique and that aspect will be a reflection of both the available strips and the patterning of those strips. It is possible to add to the overall look of the craft by using some very distinct full length strips or geometric patterns.
On the price list below can be found, as options, some of these feature strips which are displayed in the images above.

Good old Stanley #64 SPOKESHAVES
We found a dozen of these in a local (not Big Box) hardware store. We have used this simple hand tool for 35 years to shape the stems, fair the hull exterior, crown decks, shape thwarts and lift handles and round out the gunwales. The blade is 1 3/4" wide.
The tool holder along with 2 blades (which we sharpen before shipping) sells at $59.00.

C.N.C. STATION MOLDS
(the molds shown above are for an Ontario WHITEHALL rowing boat)
If accuracy is what you want, consider a set of these station molds- we cut every model in the Bear Mountain catalogue. Each mold has the vertical midline and 4" reference waterline engraved along with the station mold number.
