Canoe Strips

All the strips measure 1/4" x 13/16"; all are clear Western Red Cedar, vertical grain, full length and milled so that the 8 strips from any one board are packaged together exactly as they lay in the original plank which allows for symmetrical patterns; variety of colours as available in our inventory.

The BASIC PACKAGE will build most of the canoes from plans available through Bear Mountain Boat Shop. If you are building the wider girth PROSPECTOR or NOMAD, you will need to purchase one extra bundle of 8 strips -these are listed as on option in the selection panel.

Other companies may sell bead and cove strips - we know we are the only company supplying the kind of quality your project deserves.......we take pride in supplying the best strips available anywhere.
