Building my first Cedar Strip Canoe A couple years ago I took my two oldest children to nearby Hagg lake for their first fishing trip. They were bored after about 30 minutes, so we walked over to a little hut and rented a canoe. I like to try my hand at something different from time to time and, recalling how much my children enjoyed the boating (and not the fishing), I turned my attention to making a cedar strip canoe in the late summer of 2007. There are certainly boats that are simpler, less expensive, or faster to build -- the myriad of small plywood designs comes to mind, two of which I made with my grandfather almost 30 years ago -- but it seemed like the right choice for our family.
Though some steps of construction are tedious, a nice thing about many boats, and canoes in particular, is that they combine artistry, woodworking, and some interesting design problems. The strip-style canoe is a relatively-modern approach to canoe-making. Welcome!

Lapstrake planking refers to the method of attaching planks to the frames and to themselves. The planks actually "lap" one edge over another as opposed to butting together at their edges as in standard batten-seam or straight-carvel construction. This method, used for hundreds of years and sometimes referred to as "clinker-built," adds strength to the hull in that where the lap occurs the fastened doubling of plank thickness essentially forms a "stringer" at each plank edge. These inherent longitudinal stiffeners allow the boat to be designed with lighter plank stock of half the normal molded thickness (inboard-outboard measurement) and framing that is usually steam bent rather than sawn-sistered and thus about one third the size and weight, molded and sided (fore-and-aft dimension).
Those who are familiar with driving lapstrake boats know that they have more stability and sea kindness than flat-bottomed, hard-chined power boats. The bent frame. "clinched" or bent over. Welcome | The Coracle Society.
