Lakefield Boat and Manufacturing Co. 16'

Hello all:

Our old Lakefield Boat and Manufacturing Co.canoe requires repair of damaged strips mainly.

The number stamped on the top of the stem near the bow is 550 79.

We are trying to determine the exact type of wood used for the strips. If Eastern White Cedar is this available in up to 16' lengths if needed in Central Ontario?

Help anyone!
 
Photos would help determine which wood you are asking about.
Yes, Eastern White Cedar is available in long lengths, if you know where to look.
 
Thanks both Rob and Andy ...yes the strips are along the sides and bottom. Difficult to use the Endangered Butternut (Juglans cinerea) today, luckily not needed!

Photos attached.

Andy your canoe restore looks outstanding...quite similar model. I will try and contact you directly.
