Wood Canvas Canoe Building, Restoration and Recanvasing
The Story
Azland Traditions started in 1973, as a custom leather works shop and wood finishing service. Then in 1977, Tom, and his wife Jan and daughter Jessica, found the right piece of land, cleared it, and lived in a temporary cabin, while Tom built the hand sculpted log home , they live in today. There have been many additions since then, including a timber frame work shop and the attached dedicated canoe shop. Azland Traditions has grown into a full service, wood-canvas canoe shop for building and restoration. Azland Traditions is dedicated in keeping the traditional wood canvas canoe craft alive, by specializing in the building and restoration of each canoe, with the time tested techniques used since the late 1800’s, when the building of wood canvas canoes began.
