The author shares a quick and simple guide on building a Cedar Strip Canoe, which can take around 40 hours to complete. The average person can expect to spend around 150-175 hours on the project, considering factors like time, space, and costs. The author built a Freedom 15 cedar strip canoe with plans from Bear Mountain Boats, which took 10 months to build.
The process takes several months, with the author estimating that the number of hours spent on their first canoe is around 300. The cost of the canoe was about 1500. The first step in building a canoe is to assemble a strongback, which is a long, straight table on top of which the canoe will be built.
Making boats from strips is not new, but it has only gained popularity in the last 40 years. An experienced builder will need about 100-200 hours of work, while a beginner may need double or more. However, those who take the time to learn the process will find it easier than they think.
In conclusion, building a Cedar Strip Canoe can be a rewarding experience, especially for those who are new to the craft. By following the steps outlined in the article, you can create a durable and safe canoe that will keep you safe and happy on the water.
