Try contacting Brian Baker, Baker's Custom Canoes. He used to make them. He supplied re-enactors and Busch Gardens. Give him my regards.

If fiberglass over a wooden core would work and the raiding party is limited to around five to six warriors, I have one I'd probably part with at a pretty good price. I need to get it out of my second floor garage loft one way or another while I'm still young enough to do it, and I have a hankering to build (or rebuild) something we can get more use out of and need the space. 22' long, maybe 165 lbs. It needs some varnish work and re-wrapping of the lacing on the gunwales, but it has a brand new "birchbark" skin, mostly because paint is the best UV blocker for the glass, and partially because I always wanted to see how good of a fake birchbark paint job I could come up with.
