Canadian Model Canoe

It’s a tranquil spring morning, and a fine mist hovers over the water. Your vessel, an expertly handcrafted wooden canoe, is a marvel of craftsmanship. You slip silently through the glassy waters, fully immersed in the natural world. What if there were a way to bring that feeling home with you? This detailed 1/8 scale Canadian Canoe model sure comes close. Precision crafted from premium cherry and basswood, every detail of this scaled-down replica speaks to its authenticity, from the meticulously placed ribs to the elegantly curved gunwales. And while it looks incredible on display, it’s also a perfect introduction to model shipbuilding. Designed for beginners, it requires no previous knowledge and promises a fun, quick build and a true sense of accomplishment. It’s a rewarding endeavor for enthusiasts and novices alike. The full-size version of this vessel is known as the “cottager's canoe,” ideal for general-purpose paddling and light tripping. It might not replace a day out on the lake, but it’ll do until the next time you can get your oars back in the water. Requires adhesive and a hobby knife—full tools and materials needed are listed in the instructions. Measures 23 ¼” L x 3 5/8” W, standing 1 9/16" H.
