It's really amazing how strong all these material are and when combined into the structure are incredibly durable. Every time you tug one of those lashings home all that strength/force is installed into it.
Not sure yet, most birchbark canoes did not have seats, but that being said the fur trade era canoes had wooden seats, it was a simple board suspended with a rope from the gunwales on each side. I might look into making some for this canoe as it is a 'smaller version' of a fur trade era canoe.
@@bonpecheur4565 Yes. Many people have told me so. However a wood burning kit could do it. But it might be a good idea to remove the canoe from the garage and not place it near any gas cans. I've etched many moose call cones made of birch bark. A torch is used to heat a butter knife red hot and you trace your pattern. It smokes, smells great and no fires have been started! Remember that the inside of a birch tree's bark is less flammable than the outside. (But both burn very well.)
Ce que je me demande c'est comment tu vas faire pour boucher tous les trous que tu fais pour coudre ? On le verra sûrement plus loin dans une autre vidéo

This canoe really took a nice shape ! :) Thank you
Amazing work 👍
Thanks a lot Brian !
Looks really good. All it needs is a wood burned NW logo. Silly question maybe: are you going to put seats? Thanks for the video.
Are you out of your mind ? I start my fire with birch bark 😱 😉

Les trous en bas de la ligne d'eau seront bloqués avec la gomme d'épinette mélangé avec la graisse :)
