The fact that he does not bite wood with his teeth or work it with prehistoric flint seems to me to be normal in a civilized world. If the entire product is improved by using modern composite materials that will strengthen the boat and allow the boat to be kept longer in an impeccable and beautiful condition, that is also fine. I like to reward with praise even a skilled worker in the jungle who can carve a ship with an ax from a single piece of trunk.

Despite the delay... I am highly appreciative of your attention to detail, your steady and focused work, and how you bring your vision to life. You are a high craftsman! I was raised partly in north-middle Minnesota in the mid-1950s (the lake district, due east of Fargo-Morehead). Cedar strip canoes and boats were the kings of the lakes, and outboard motors were just coming on the market, so you rarely heard one. The quiet beauty of a sunrise on the lake in a [cedar strip] canoe was and is still... priceless. Thank you for sharing your superb craftsmanship!
