Wood Strip Canoe Building

...no space?
...no tools?
...no experience?

Come to our humble Atchison workshop.

Work alongside Steve ("the canoe guy").
In 10 construction days, you can
build a once-in-a-lifetime experience AND a canoe!
How it works:
  1. Assemble a canoe-building team (2 or more individuals)
  2. Arrange a date to join Steve ("the canoe guy") in our Atchison workshop and work together with Steve for 10 long, solid days.
  3. Arrive and stay in Atchison for the pre-arranged 10-day workshop.
  4. Spend an intensive 10 days in the workshop building one extraordinary heritage-quality woodstrip canoe!
  5. At the end of the workshop (if you've worked REAL hard), your canoe will be completed EXCEPT for the final sanding and varnishing phase.  (The fiberglass-epoxy layer must cure for 1 week before varnishing  ...we hate to make you wait around for something easily done at home!)
