Hi.
Good read. Thank you.
Where did you find this?

Where did he find a tree 40' long and 5'6" diameter to hollow out for his
canoe?


You've never been to the Pacific Northwest, have you?

No. Must have taken a long time making a dugout canoe,though...



yes... especially if he actually made it himself rather than procuring
it from the local natives, for whom this was the normal way to make a
boat.

The stumps from these monster trees are still out there in the forests,
remaining after the logging of the ancient first growth trees. Well,
the cedar stumps are anyway.
