In the tradition of their Native American ancestors, Decorah Custom Canoes specializes in creating handcrafted canoes using the finest natural materials. Whether they are from birch bark or cedar, all canoes are custom-built from native wood. Each piece is a work of art, and normal construction time varies from one to two months. Once completed, the canoes are purchased by and sold through a retail outlet under the same name. Only three canoes are offered, the Iroquois, Chippewa, and Winnebago, which cost $1,100,$1,400, and $2,100, respectively. Each canoe also comes as a kit and costs $450, $550, and $800 respectively.
