I started this blog when I was restoring a 1917 Kennebec canoe. Now I have added to my boat building adventures, and built a kayak. I also have pages about birds and astronomy.

First split

The log is now split in half. 
Starting with two steel wedges. 
Replacing the steel with big wood wedges. 
Hammering. 
More hammering. 
And finally, success!  This took about two weeks, hammering a little bit each day. Sometimes you could hear it pop an crack long after I stopped pounding on it.
