WOW
I want to live in America, for the wood that is. The way he splits down the cedar for lining the inside to the canoe was gob smacking, I so wish that I could get my hands on wood of that quality in this country. If I had cedar like that, making fan carved birds with a 4 foot wing span would be childs play. Maybe I am confusing skill and the quality of the wood, but I have not always been able to get the quality of wood I would like to have and had to struggle on regardless.
