Wow I was just watching a 18th century settler carved log canoe video and those techniques don’t come anywhere close to these. Beautiful craft, it’s hard to believe it started out as a single sold log. 👍🏻
those gunwale bands have a similar shape to the umiaq skin boats, very beautiful lines and form. How did you scribe the shape for the small bulkhead? Its a neat fit however you did it. And that adzing is superb, very beautiful
Boundary layer engineering from old times on the coast. Indy cars still do not etch the surfaces to make the surface slicker in moving through the water. Awesome.
I cannot possibly tell this man anything about carpentry, but I could give him some lessons in brush technique :) Use the tip of the brush, not the side. Also he is not keeping his brush wet enough, so is always trying to get the paint out of the brush. It should flow down the bristles and off the tips, with the brush close to 90deg to the surface. (General info for all) Great videos, thank you.

thanks for keeping our culture alive

A great job, and nice of you to let us see it all being done warts and all.
Thanks, it was a very interesting and educational project

Aqui no Brasil a contrução fica para os mestres canoeiros que essa cultura caiçara disseminada em todo litoral e margeando os rios e igarapé
The canoe looks heavy!

Good observation...must have had some merits to justify the tremendous amount of work in adzing
I'm sure the Indians used plywood patches a hundred years ago!
Not sure what they used back then but it works well today
