      @@nawangwulan1714 The man is undoubtedly very skilled and professional. The fact that he does not bite wood with his teeth or work it with prehistoric flint seems to me to be normal in a civilized world. If the entire product is improved by using modern composite materials that will strengthen the boat and allow the boat to be kept longer in an impeccable and beautiful condition, that is also fine. I like to reward with praise even a skilled worker in the jungle who can carve a ship with an ax from a single piece of trunk.

    I was raised partly in north-middle Minnesota in the mid-1950s (the lake district, due east of Fargo-Morehead). Cedar strip canoes and boats were the kings of the lakes, and outboard motors were just coming on the market, so you rarely heard one. The quiet beauty of a sunrise on the lake in a [cedar strip] canoe was and is still... priceless. Thank you for sharing your superb craftsmanship!

    Great to watch a true craftsman at work. I know that a project like this can try a man's patience. When it's finally done though, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever."
    Any time I work on some involved project (even the simple ones) I hear my grandpap in my ear "If you don't take time to do it right, you'll have to find time to do it over."

    Sir, you are a master at your craft and that was a pleasure to watch. She (the canoe) is Beautiful. Be still my breaking heart, alas here in England a craft like that would be wasted on our muddy little rivers. Salute.
