Building a birch bark style canoe with plywood - extra - the maiden voyage

Hans-Georg Wagner is building plywood canoes since 1994. In this series the different worksteps are shown. When a boat is finished, before putting it into water, we follow our own traditions of “christening“ the boat with east german sparkling wine. A sacrifice to the spirits. Thank you for watching the series and your interest, we plan on creating more videos about some details next year. Hans-Georg Wagner is a german artist und designer specialized in wood.
