Same here. Same feeling I had watching Dick Proenekke build his Alaskan cabin.

Re: Amazing Hand Built Birch Bark Canoe Documentary That was cool...I actually watched the whole thing. That birch bark canoe is basically a finely made basket. I'll bet there is a substantial collectors market for his work...I wonder how much he gets for one?

Re: Amazing Hand Built Birch Bark Canoe Documentary Big deal, I can do that. ;) -------- Really, I think if I striped the bark off in "early spring", I'd still be trying to get the damned thing together in "early fall". ,,,,,,, -On second thought, it'd probably be easier for me to just wait for the lake to freeze over in winter, and then I'll just walk across. -end-

Yeah - love that stuff, and he didn't need permits or inspections. :wink:

Re: Amazing Hand Built Birch Bark Canoe Documentary Wonderful stuff. :applause_ Did anybody grasp how long it actually took Cesar to make his canoe?

Re: Amazing Hand Built Birch Bark Canoe Documentary Cool man. I was born and raised in Qu�bec and I owned a birch bark canoe. Although it wasn't as fast or durable as a fiberglass or aluminum canoe, it was a very esthetically pleasing boat. I can always trust the great people of GIM for interesting items like this link. Thanks.

Re: Amazing Hand Built Birch Bark Canoe Documentary What a master craftsman! Norm Abram has nothing on this guy. :biggrin: Watching the video it reminds me how important it is to use sharp tools (no matter what the job).:biggrin:
