    I want to share this marvelous video about the building of a birch-bark canoe in Canada. Enjoy.

    Fascinating! A tribute to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of a determined man. I knew of the crooked knife and its' versatility but I have never seen one used before except when I damned near amputated a finger while experimenting. His skill with the axe is well demonstrated.

    Thanks for that Guillerrmo.
