Headwater Wooden Boat Shop has repaired, restored and reconstructed a wide range of small wooden craft. Restoration of wooden canoes are what we do most, but we will also work
on row-boats and small runabouts. Dick has extensive historical knowledge of the old canoe companies, their canoe models and is skilled in conservation and restoration of old wooden boats and canoes. He is a volunteer and a regular contributor of his expertise to the Canadian Canoe Museum and Wooden Canoe Heritage Association where he is also a member.

If you bring your boat to our shop, we will do a survey and provide you with an estimate for any required work to be done. Since no two canoes or boats and their conditions are alike, there are no standard prices. Estimates will only be given upon survey of your boat in our shop. Please call ahead to make an appointment. All our work are quaranteed to equal or exceed the quality of the original work.

A deposit is required when you deliver your boat to our shop, the remainder is due upon completion of the work and presentation of our invoice.
