Each of our hand made canoes are a stunning piece of craftsmanship to light up your home. Rugged, built to last quality for more than 25 years, made in USA. Our "Canoe Chandeliers" are a one of a kind light, that is both beautiful to look at and great for lighting up the Great Room, pool table, over your bed or anywhere that shows off your good taste. Every canoe is carefully built by a skilled craftsman by gluing wood strips over a set of forms. Sanding and trimming till the desired canoe takes shape. Then it is stained or can be painted if desired. A layer of 1.5 oz cloth and multiple coats of epoxy are applied to ensure it will last through years of tough conditions that may be found in a seasonal camp or lake cabin. Finally it is finished with hand shaped Red Cedar toe rails, deck caps, thwarts and real cane seats. Final sanding, then coats of semi-gloss polyurethane finish is applied. Lights and wiring are then installed. The shipping box is specially made to ensure safe delivery. As our saying goes "It is just like the Real Thing!
It is an authentic E.M. White guide canoe, just smaller. Not only are they a great show and conversation piece for the canoeing enthusiast, but also an excellent source of lighting for the special place in your home, business or conference room. Every one is custom made to taylor the customers wishes, all at a very reasonable price. The canoe is light and comes with two hanging eyes. You supply the hanging chain.
We have switched to a more stylish dark bronze colored rimmed warm white LED light, 650 Lumens and dimmable to a faint glow. Very attractive. Truly a nice lamp that we are now using in all the new chandeliers.
I take much pride in everyone that I build, especially knowing it will be admired for years to come. If you love the light but would like some different lighting or a painted hull, or different woods, I will gladly custom build one to your liking. I have checked marked "no returns" which with Etsy, I can not clarify that. I promote buyers to call me and ask questions to make sure that it is the right size for their application. I go through a great deal of work to package these canoes and to make sure they are what you have ordered. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, I will get right back to you. There is a nice you tube video showing how they are made at https://youtu.be/rRUiTL-9HXw and more pictures and options at https://www.canoemodelkits.com/canoe-chandeliers-2/ . Feel free to give me a call at 401-218-8706 EST 7 to 7 p.m. if you have other ideas or questions. Thanks, Ray
