What we’re making

We have designs for a variety of watercraft and outdoor accessories. We are currently making paddle boards, canoes and runabouts, as well as take custom requests for unique projects.

Canoes

We design our canoes with both beauty and practicality in mind. We combined time-honored techniques of classic cedar strip canoes with beautiful hardwoods to create strong and elegant hulls. Bentwood canoes crave adventure - feel comfortable packing your canoe with gear up to the gunwales and powering through a rapid or two - it can hang in there.

 

Runabouts

As with all of our designs, we aim to bring beauty to durable, everyday watercraft. Our runabout utilizes a Jacques Mertens-Goossens design hull with our custom woodwork to deliver a perfect balance between flexibility and strength that powers through chop and glides on open water. Our boats are fun and fast.

 
 

Custom paddles

Whether you are paddling in a canoe, SUP, or kayak, our custom paddles are both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. We keep these paddles lightweight with thoughtful grip options and a deep paddle surface to ensure you can move smoothly and comfortably.

 

Fishing Nets

Created for anglers that need a study, wide-mouthed net to keep every catch secure. We custom design our nets and utilize a variety of woods that we can tailor to you preference.
