Courier Kits & Totem Kits
At Totem Strips we provide 2 basic wood kits : Courier Kits & Totem Kits for canoes, kayaks & rowboats based on length of the cedar strips and how it is shipped.
Courier Kits are the most economical and environmentally friendly. They use high grade shorter length cedar bead & cove strips in 6′ to 7′ 10″ lengths to build beautiful canoes, kayaks and rowboats. Building with full length strips is not necessarily the best way or only way. All traditional boat builders learned that the art of joining wood was a necessity and not difficult to do. Shipped by courier direct to your door. For US customer it arrives without the high bond, brokerage and shipping fees associated with full length strips. Strips going to the US are 6′ to 8′ 4″ lengths.
