Model Canoe

Probably the most popular product made at WAM are the beautiful model canoes, which are made in a range of sizes. The designs faithfully follow their life-size counterparts, right down to the miniature paddles. The making of these model canoes by the trainees is an excellent starter exercise in how to work with wood. During the breaks between training programs, the full-time staff make the canoes to order. $9 per inch for student models and $15 per inch for staff models up to 12 inches. $20 per inch for larger models up to 24 inches.
