Cedar-Canvas Wooden Canoes

Custom Builds & Canoe Restoration

Whether you’re new to wooden canoes or have paddled them your whole life, I’m here to help. I build and restore canoes using time-tested methods refined over more than a century, passed down from expert woodworkers—paired with select modern materials and techniques to ensure each restoration or custom canoe build is done right.

At Cook Craft (and previously with Hurley Canoe), I’ve:

  • Built dozens of cedar-canvas canoes
  • Repaired and restored hundreds of wooden and canvas canoes
