Cool to see you building another. Good idea making a jig that holds two.
Love the canoe builds.
:) awesome
We can see you have experience and abilities, that canoe will be a piece or art.
Merci Suzanne ! C'est mon objectif, faire un oeuvre d'art fonctionnel et à saveur historique ! Merci de vos encouragements ! Steve :)
Très beau travail Steve. Je vois déjà "NWC" ou "HBC" sur l'écorce de la pince.
Moi aussi ! Je pense que je vais avoir de l'écorce d'hiver avec des dessins un peu sur les côtés mais je vais peinturer en blanc les devant comme sur les photos historique. Ça reste à voir !!
Man a 20 footer .. That Cedar to bend that much is something else. I was tense just watching ! Did you find Bark for this monster yet ? What made you want to try one of these. Turn out real good.
I used spruce for my stempiece as I didn't have any long enough cedar unfortunately. Cedar would of been the prime choice if available. By soaking the spruce 1 week and lots of steam and boiling water, it did a very nice job I think !
