Types of Features You Can Add to Your Custom Made Cedar Strip Canoe

The exact features of your custom canoes made of cedar may depend on the specific purposes you want it for in the first place. In case you are unfamiliar with this type of boats, you may not know which characteristics you should include, in general.

We could say that the strip canoe is a somehow contemporary version of the classic canoes. A canoe made from strips can look very nice, be pretty resistant and highly functional. In fact, a custom strip canoe is nothing but a canoe made with synthetic materials. Among the classic design parameters that canoes usually have we could mention the end-to-end symmetry. On the other hand, asymmetrical canoes have a different shape and the tendency to move towards a single direction, preferably frontwards. Thus, they may be a little narrower in the front part.

Some people say that a custom made cedar strip canoe is something that mostly anyone can make. But that certainly is not true. Like mostly any type of specialized work, it requires experience, specific tools and equipment, and special skills.

Although they are somewhat similar to row boats, canoes are typically paddled while facing towards the front. Longer canoes are harder to turn, but have a higher speed.
