Although it may not be the most cost effective thing, you could always put a thick layer of clear epoxy on the inside or outside and sand it down a bit if you're worried about the cracks bringing water in. Should seal up any potential leak hazard.

@theyard6958 6 ай бұрын

Awesome project! I built boats for almost 2 decades. First thought is to get a grinder with a chainsaw wheel thats used for log carving. second thought is that the cracks are from the wood drying and shrinking. It will do the opposite when its soaked. Most of the cracks will swell and seal. this is what we do with wooden ships. If they are on the hard for long they dry up and gaps open, and before we send it off we soak them for about 3 days to a week to make sure she seals up nicely. Thanks Ayo

If you're gonna try to carve by hand the tool you're looking for is called an Adze. Similar shape to the flat blade of a pick axe but made for carving wood.

@robertzalnis3162 6 ай бұрын

cut slots about 2 inches deep across the inside of the log with the chainsaw about 3 inches apart and knock out the pieces with your pick. it should co pretty fast. as far as the cracks just tar the outside with some hard setting roofing tar. If you leave that log as its current weight it will not float that well.

You definitely need to go to harbor freight and buy a chainsaw grinder blade. It's what they use for wood sculptures. I think it would remove more wood than the planer. Also, check out Xyla Foxlin's videos for some cool handmade wood kayak builds.

soak the wood and sink it for a few days, it'll probably remove a lot of those cracks from swelling. maybe you could also go over it with wax to fill cracks, or epoxy if you're feeling flush

@TheCaptainbeefylog 6 ай бұрын

This is very interesting to watch. You're probably going to need an adze and/or draw-knife. The adze is meant for what you were trying to do with the pick-axe in chipping out the inside. Next time you have a log like this, you could try getting it milled and build a plank hull. Good work so far! It's always interesting to see how much difference just one good piece of equipment can make to a job.

@andrewdavies4604 6 ай бұрын

I'm pretty sure the cracks will "take up", once the canoe gets wet The wood will swell, especially as it's a bit corky, and close up pretty quick. You won't have water trying to sink it, for a long time. At worst, it'll be a bit in the bottom, till it swells.

@SmossyYT 6 ай бұрын

Plant your saw dogs and use leverage to make a cut, adjust again and repeat, dont drag the saw. Also with the cracks, once the tree sits in the water for a week or so those will all close, the wood is only cracking because its dry, once it swells all good.

@Heydude2020 6 ай бұрын

Get it down close to where u want it then chisel to fine tune it , and for the cracks after done fill it with water remember wood swells could seal cracks before you put it on water . Just my advice
