This Contemporary Canoe Builders video is from 2015 and was made by Deborah Gardner, Gregory Nolan, and Edmond David. It is subtitled "A perfect mating of art, craft and nature."
Nice to hear from builders who have made a living from wooden Canoe building great presentation. ! I'm a hobby Canoe builder myself thanks to Jerry Stelmok
Its all about the Birch Bark Canoe for me, but this was quite an interesting documentary with fantastic craftsmanship. Canoe building seems to be underrated.
It is hard to express, but there is nothing that puts you at peace more than a stripper, canvas on wood, or a birchbark canoe on a lake just as the sun is rising or setting. If you take the time to learn to build a canoe that sense of satisfaction will sustain you for your life. This great video is your beginning.
