Cosmetics:

   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.
