A very special 16' cedar canvas canoe in new condition, built in 2008 by Will Ruch (Ruch Canoes) of Bancroft, a renowned cedar canvas canoe craftsman who has made a career of handcrafting them in Muskoka and Bancroft, and is well known to the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association. Fine furniture finish, paddles beautifully, one with nature, and always stored indoors with care by original owner. Never set down on sand, stones or rock, always on grass or foam noodles – and always placed in the water to load and unload, never set down or pulled onto a shore. Footwear never worn when paddling or stepping in or out of it. Ash inwales, cherry outwales, cherry seats, birdseye maple thwarts and decks, red cedar bookended planking with white cedar ribs, brass stem bands and fasteners, and covered with #12 canvas. A true Canadian heritage beauty resulting from impeccable detailed craftsmanship, combining early Peterborough design with other heritage canoes, this Ruch Canoe will have a lasting legacy over 100 years if cared for and stored well when not in use. Owner was an ORCKA Regional Rep and owner/instructor of Land o' Lakes Canoeing & Kayaking. Cash or bank draft payment. If it is posted, it is available.
