Each Betula (simulated
birchbark) is a uniquely
handcrafted canoe. Every
boat is an individual work
of art -- no two the same.
The graphic simulation is
textured and part of the
laminating process -- not
simply painted on -- tarred
seams and all.
Gunnels: choice of native cherry or ash. All Betula models include scuppers, wood decks and leather strapping where gunnels meet the stems of the hull.
Seating: due to the historical
replica nature of the Betula
the standard seat options
are available but they are
not as esthetically pleasing
with the simulated birch-
bark. There are several
choices for seats or
kneeling thwarts that
should be discussed at the
time of ordering.
Flotation: the Betula includes positive foam filled flotations chambers at each end.
Footrests: adjustable
footrests are available as
an option on all Betula
models.
The Betula (simulated birchbark) is available in
two lengths: 10’6” & 13’. The Betula 10’6” & 13’ are the same hull as the Wee Lassie and Impulse but is produced with more depth at the stems to produce a very attractive shear line for the gunnels. A variety of cane seat selections are available for all versions of the Betula.

Popular with reenactment lovers. The Betula offers the esthetics of a bark canoe while preserving the performance, weight and low maintenance characteristics of modern composite materials such as kevlar.
