Pretty cool. Thanks.

Question: At about the 6 minute mark he begins to clear out the innards. You
can see some pretty wide saw kerfs running both lengthwise and widthwise. I'm

Nah cheating would be adapting a stump ginder.

Just a note, but the "Guild of Northmen" is a tool company--I suspect they
want you to buy all the stuff they showed that was used to make the canoe,
and that they didn't show the tools that they used that they don't sell.

Same folks (new name) produced the 'Birth Of A Wooden House'

Those guys got mad skillz. I'd a cut my foot off the first time I tried to
use that axe.
