Handbuilt Teak Canoe - One-of-a-Kind Heirloom w/ Custom Paddles
This is a unique, one of one, handcrafted wooden canoe built in 1999 by my father as a personal project - with a focus on craftsmanship and detail.
I have preserved this canoe for over 20 years and it has been in the water five times. The canoe has spent its life stored indoors and maintained as both a functional craft and a family piece.
The hull is teak, yoke, seats, and decks are ash. The inlays are clean and symmetrical that reflect the time and care invested in the build. He was a perfectionist.
Included are three custom handcrafted ash paddles, designed to match the canoe.
Details:
- 16 ft length | 36" beam
- Teak strip-built hull
- Ash yoke, seats, and decks
- Hand-caned seats
- Integrated bow compartment
- 3 matching custom paddles (62", 55.5", 43.5")
Condition: Excellent overall. The finish remains bright and well cared for. There is minor cosmetic wear on a small section of the gunwale consistent with careful handling over time, but nothing that detracts from its presentation or use.
Price: $5,000
