Restorations
West Hollow Boat Company (WHBC) is a full service restoration shop. I do all types of replacement or restorative woodworking and finishing to restore your canoe back to new condition. I strive to make the restoration compliment the original and not alter techniques or products. Only top quality materials and techniques are used to restore and maintain these fine old canoes. Restoration costs are based on the extent of reconstruction. Estimated cost cannot be given until the canoe is assessed for type and extent of repairs. I have restored well over 100 canoes and some recently restored canoes include:
