How a hollow log became a wider canoe
1/3
Read slide text
- A wider canoe from the same log
The shell was already hollow. The next task: open it wider without splitting it.
- Heat. Spread. Watch for cracks.
The slit faced down over a fire. Wooden spreaders eased it open gradually, by different amounts along the shell.
- Hold the shape while it cools
Cross-pieces kept the expanded shell in shape. Side planks were fitted later to complete the boat.
