I have seen a lot of boatbuilding methods, I've never seen the dowel and bark technique before. Also, the painting on these boats makes them real works of art.
Very instructive to see boats built in such a different way that I am used to. So many ways to get a good result. I respect those who can make such a beautiful boats with fairly simple tools. And those stunning decorative paintings ... However, I wouldn't want to have to repaint the boat when it's time for refurbishment :-D Simply amazing!
