Over the years, we have been told that our canoes are too beautiful to put in the water and the that they belong in the living room. Without question it was mainly due to our customers' comments that we decided to design our own line of interior canoe furniture. Both beautiful and functional, our canoe furnishings are made using the same traditional techniques that we use in the construction of our full size wood canoes.

This page shows our display canoes, sometimes referred to as 'salesman's models' as historically small model canoes were used by travelling salesmen to represent the full size craft available. These are designed for display only and capture the spirit and beauty of the wooden canoe. Along with our canoe furnishings American Traders also provides an assortment of decorative and functional accessories that look fantastic in your home, camp, cabin, or lodge, please check out our other pages for these items.
