all materials is guaranteed to be of the highest caliber .

White
Cedar
Northern white cedar is absolutely the best wood for canoe ribs
and planking. Its light weight, strength, flexibility and rot resistance
can not be matched by any other wood. Although Maine has vast quantities
of white cedar, it is still very difficult to find, select and sort out
the knot and defect-free lumber that is required for canoe construction.
The rough stock, ribs and planking
offered by Northwoods Canoe Company are from plain sawn lumber, which means
most of the pieces will have flat grain patterns. All wood is of the best
premium canoe grade.
Northwoods Canoe Company has been
able to obtain a treasured amount of quarter sawn white cedar which is available
ONLY as pre-cut planking, 3" wide, 5/32" thick, in six to eight foot lengths.
- Rough Stock - 1" thick boards, 3" to 6" wide, 6' or 8' long: $4.00/bd.

Canvas
Our canvas is the highest quality, midwest duck. We have a variety
of canvasses in different widths, weights and treatments:
- Mildew Resistant Canvas. Standard #10 grade, 58" wide,
treated to resist mildew. Unlike the old lead-based canvas fillers, modern
oil/silica and latex fillers do not protect the canvas from mildew and
rot. Fungicides and preservatives applied separately can interfere with
the application of the filler. This new type of treated canvas offers
long lasting protection from rot and will not shrink away from the rails.
- Lightweight #12x60" $4.50/foot
- Standard #10x60" $5.00/foot
- Heavy #8x60" $5.50/foot
- Untreated Canvas. The canvas that has been used traditionally
on canoes. It has not been preshrunk and contains no chemicals.
- Standard #10x60" $4.50/foot
- Heavy and Wide #6x72" $5.75/foot
- Heavy and X-Wide #8x84" $7.00/foot
 Canvas
Filler: Northwoods Canoe Company offers the traditional oil-based
filler. The traditional alkyd oil and silica-base filler is mixed
at the canoe shop. It is a durable filler that has proven performance
on thousands of canoes. This filler needs three to six weeks for drying
and creates a hard durable surface for enamel finish paint. It can
be stored almost indefinitely, at any temperature, but the ingredients
will settle over a long time and must be remixed. Instructions for
application are included and also are described in The
Wood & Canvas Canoe. $65 per gallon. $18 per Qt.
Bedding Compound:
Bedding compound is applied under stem bands, keels and other wood
joints. It seals joints to prevent water damage and leakage. It remains
soft and flexible for many years so the joint may be taken apart later. $29 per pint, $39 per quart. |

Git-Rot:
Git-Rot pours into the finest openings, penetrates deep and completely
saturates rotten wood arresting the progress of dry rot. Cures in
48 hours to a tough resilient adhesive that bonds the wood together.
Good for the tips of the decks, stems and rails that show the first
stages of rot but don't yet need to be replaced. 4 oz: $22, Pint: $38
 Ambroid
Glue: A waterproof liquid cement, flexible and fast drying.
It is the traditional glue for canvas repairs and patches. No mixing
is required, dries in minutes, and is easy to use at home or in the
field. A single 1.8oz tube is enough to apply several patches 3 or
4 inches in diameter. $4 per tube.

  Clinching
Iron Custom made for the Northwoods Canoe Company, a hand held cast
iron clinching iron. The iron can conform to the many different shapes of
the canoe's interior without gouging or scratching the wood. The hollow
center makes it easy to hold and easy to use. Weight - 3 pounds. $35.
We now offer the clinching iron
in bronze. The bronze does not stain moist or wet wood as the cast iron
can. This is normally not a problem as the stain can be sanded off
later. In those situations where it could be a problem the bronze is a good
alternative. The bronze iron is sanded and polished. It makes an attractive
gift even if it never used to clinch tacks. Clinching tacks with it does
nick the bronze, however the mass is such that the nicking is not a problem.
Weight - 3lbs. $110ea.
 Tack
Puller An invaluable tool in any canoe shop is the tack puller.
This versatile puller, with two different heads, is well designed for
lifting stubborn canoe tacks with minimal damage to the planking and
for a wide variety of other applications. I've used and modified many
different tack pullers, and this one is my personal favorite. $18.50.
 Canvassing Pliers
A wide jawed set of vise grip pliers for grabbing the canvas for stretching
at the gunnels or at the stem. The rounded edge make for a great fulcrum
as you rock it over the inwales.(a small wood button is recommended
for padding so you don't marr the rails.). $28.00
 Finger
Plane This lightweight 2 1/2" long plane is just right for the
delicate trimming on soft cedar ribs and planking. It is easy to use,
and its small size makes it invaluable in the canoe shop. $15.50.

 Canoe Hammer This hammer has a much larger head than most lightweight hammers, which makes striking canoe tacks much easier. Its light weight is appreciated when reaching around the canoe to clinch the tacks. 7 ounce head, 12 ounces overall. $13.00
 Planking Gauge Every canoe has many planks that need to be tapered to fit the curve of the hull. This planking gauge is just the ticket to trace an accurate curve onto a new plank. $8.00

Setting Pole Shoe A new item in our line up is the
bronze cast setting pole shoe. It's a hefty, but not
too much, ten oz. of solid cast bronze. It comes with
a template drawing and screws (siliconbronze ), bedding compound or
another equivalent sealer is recommended for this application.
This item will increase the sink rate of your pole in moving water,
grab the rocks and lengthen the life of the tip of your pole. $25.00 ea. |
