That is a lot of work Mr. Wolf. Was wondering what the man hours were in creating this amazing canoe ?

@@The__Outlaw Thank you for your comment! It's hard to say exactly, since I mostly worked on it in the evenings, or in between work. But it was about 5 months in the making, from start to finish. A great winter project!! :)

😁 Thanks so much for watching!

Absolutely go and tackle it, I'm sure you'll love it!

Thank you so much, Iron Wallaby! So glad you enjoy it!

If only! ;) Thank you so much for your comment!! You have a great day.

@@wolfvalleyforge2204 How long did it take?

Thank you so much!!😁 I really appreciate your comment and so glad you enjoyed!

Thanks so much, Mr. Jonathan!! I hope you've really been enjoying your little axe! Thank you so much for your enthusiastic support!

My great grandpa used to make them and I still have most of his old tools. I'm gonna find a nice cypress tree and try to make my own.

@@whiteheadcustomcrafts3555 Super cool!! Thanks so much for the heads up!

Thank you so much for the comment!! I am still selling the axes. :) I really appreciate your support!

@@wolfvalleyforge2204 👍 Best axes made anywhere. But I am shamelessly biased, I own 3 of them! 😀

@@MeaninglessEndeavors Thank you soooo much for your business + enthusiastic support!! It's fine folks like you that make me love doing what I do!!

Hey! Thank you so much for watching. The whole process took about 5 months from start to finish, just working on it a few minutes in the evenings. Would have been a lot faster if I had used a chainsaw. :) The log was drying as I went, so by the time I put the finish and filled the checks in the ends, it had already split about as much as it was going to. It has lightened up some since then, but the checks haven't gotten any bigger, and the filling seems to be holding up just fine. This was a very fun project. If you ever get a change to give it a try, I highly recommend it. Thanks again! -Ike

Thanks so much!! I appreciate you watching!

Wow, that sounds like an exciting trip for sure! Thanks for sharing!

Hey there, thanks for commenting! The canoe took about 5 months overall to make, but that just working a little along, in between regular work in the shop. It was a great wintertime project. :)

@@wolfvalleyforge2204 fantastic! Even though it looked like a lot of hard work, it's a very motivating video.

@@namarcamusic Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you for commenting, Robin! It was a Linden tree, also known as Basswood.

@@wolfvalleyforge2204 thank you!

Yes, that was resin that I poured in the checks on both ends. For the finish on the rest of the canoe, I used a mixture of pine resin and beeswax. Thanks for watching!

I actually don't know what the technical name for the tool is. I made mine and decided, since I didn't know what the name was, I was free to name it myself. :) So I call it a Round Knife. Thanks for the comment!

Good afternoon! Thank you for commenting. I started on it when it was wet wood. It was in the wintertime when the tree was cut, so the sap wasn't too high. I started right in on it, and by the time the canoe was finished, it had dried out pretty good. Thanks for watching!

Wolf Valley Forge Thank you for the reply.

@anarchyking66698 It ended up weighing about 180 lbs. finished. Thank you so much for your comment!

Hey there, thank you for the comment! I worked on the canoe throughout the winter, mostly on breaks from work. It would have gone a lot faster if I had been full-time with it!! But, I enjoyed working on it over a course of about 5 months. Thank you again, and have a great day!

Thank you so much for commenting! I worked on it over a course of about 5 months, but just off and one between work. It was a really great winter-time project!

Thanks for commenting, Miles! The whole project took about 5 months, from start to finish. But that was mostly just working on it a few minutes in the evenings, or in between work. Definitely a great winter project!! :)

Shut up

@davechavezjr5399 The work of the Native Americans and all of the folks who blazed the trails and pioneered this country truly are amazing! I imagine they would have built many of their own tools. Very amazing, knowledged people out there! And while I did build these adze and round knife that I used for this canoe as well (part of the fun of the challenge!), I know they didn't have the same propane forge and power tools for sharpening that I do today. Thank you for watching!
