Great find! Thanks for the link.

Not quite like I remember them doing it when I was young and you burnt
out the inside, but still it was a beautiful job.

Remember the shredded wheat cards with projects like that separating
them?

Pretty cool. Thanks.

Question: At about the 6 minute mark he begins to clear out the innards. You
can see some pretty wide saw kerfs running both lengthwise and widthwise. I'm
thinking chainsaw. Isn't that cheating? ;-)

Just a note, but the "Guild of Northmen" is a tool company--I suspect they
want you to buy all the stuff they showed that was used to make the canoe,
and that they didn't show the tools that they used that they don't sell.

Wow, I thought it would take longer than 18 minutes to make a canoe.
I'm going to make a few of them tomorrow morning.
