Dugout Canoe Carving: The Story of Belladonna Beaver
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лис 2018
- * www.elpel.info * I had the privilege of carving a dugout canoe with Churchill Clark, great-great-great-great grandson of Captain William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Working with traditional adzes and modern power tools, we carved a beautiful 20-foot canoe from a massive old Douglas fir log. The end result is functional and beautiful and paddles like a dream.

Hallo 😂
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing! In 2004-2005 I canoed the Lewis and Clark trail from the Pacific to St Louis. It took me two years. It was the experience of a life time.
Wow James! That's quite a journey you undertook! We paddled our dugout canoe down the Missouri River from Montana to St. Louis in 2019. Here is a video about the adventure: ua-cam.com/video/5DyznyKp0Cc/v-deo.html
Great video, thank you for the ride!
This deserves tens and hundreds of millions of veiws to say the least
Hundreds of quadrillions
Quadrillions of billions
What a wonderful project.
Thanks for making a video. I would love a canoe like that.
Keep up the good work and enjoy the canoe.
Cheers from norway

really nice project! this kind of boat building was indeed very resource-waistful, birchbark canoes were in this sense better
True. But our birch trees are only 4 or 5 inches in diameter here. It would take many, many trees to make one canoe! Here is Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/N-JgWTDUta0/v-deo.html
Nice job !!!
I made a kayak from branches and stretch ;)
My dad once made a canoe out of wood strips and Barrage balloon material.......well, there was a war on!
Amazing to find a canoe inside that log 😉

Do it!
Awsome project!
I realy don't know why so many people did not like it.
Probably because it didn't need to be 30 minutes long... this could have been edited into a 3-5 minute video and been somewhat interesting
@@IsThisHandleTaken i kinda enjoyed the 30 minutes...

Nice to see handcrafted things like this shared here. Without social media or the internet, skills like this would just die off. Modern tools where used but nonetheless the process and end result were very impressive. I really like Mr. Clark’s constant enthusiasm. He’s a great addition the the video.

Beautiful boat it truly is work of art!
Thanks John! Here is the follow-up video: ua-cam.com/video/N-JgWTDUta0/v-deo.html
Reject log? Too many knots? All subjective opinions, all the knots and colors make the finished result so much more beautiful. It's a work of art really. Thanks for sharing!
I am not saying it isn't beatiful work, but the question of knots, is not entirely sublective. Especialy for a canoe that has to be sound on the water, i am sure you have hat knots with different density and non consistent fiber, that falls out. That is even if you over come the issues such as in the beginning of the video with them making working the wood difficult. I have a small acreage tree farm and know if you want to use the wood in its original form and not as firewood you try and remove branches so the don't cause big deep knots. Look how many videos now with them being filled with epoxy.
There were a lot of gnarly knots for sure, but they do add to the beauty. Here is Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/N-JgWTDUta0/v-deo.html
Bravo les gars
Look like great burn bowls in those wedged inner sections?
WOW. INCREDIBLE EFFORT EVEN BETTER OUTCOME
WISH YOU ALL A CANOE FILLED WITH PLENTY, GREAT WEATHER FAMILY & STRENGTH FOR EACH DAY

Cool project /Wrong tree
I had clear grain Fir trees, but this unless you want a barge heavy - Use Cedar in the first place. That was a reject log !
I couldn't have said it better myself. It is just amazing how these guys were able to turn that "reject log" into a fine looking canoe under those conditions.
Nice work and thanks Tom and Church. Well done capturing the scenery with some nice shots of the water and mountains in the background. Now, That's what I call a labor of love. Kudos.
Yup. Totally the wrong tree. I had a cottonwood picked out, but it was just a wee too small for the job, so we found the Douglas fir as a substitute. It isn't a traditional canoe wood, and it's very heavy, but she sure turned out beautiful and floats great! Here is Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/N-JgWTDUta0/v-deo.html
What an awesome canoe!!! U guys are amazing!!!

The dried out big log full of large knots probably tripled your work, did you keep track of the hours it took for this project.?
Yep, a greener log would have been far simpler to shape. It might crack quite a bit, but probably far less than that dried out highly stressed log that was used.
We definitely put a lot of work into it! Here is Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/N-JgWTDUta0/v-deo.html

Sawmill sold you the tree with the most knots! Bastards! Good job tho, builds character.
I thought the same thing , they sure dont want it with those knots , they are hard on equipment
