I would think wood that hard and brittle would be better suited to a musical insterment rather than a boat. very interesting find, funny the quarry was just burning 25,000 year old wood!!!

Where did you get the comment about a quarry burning wood?

That guy is not making boats he is making furniture. Or museum pieces

They said some of the wood was burnt in the video,
cool stuff, glad the guy enjoys his endeavours.
