Birchbark Canoe Build - Part 2 - Establishing sheer of gunwales - Algonquin old model

Continuing to assemble the birch bark canoe. In this video I cut off some winter bark panels and start stitching them with spruce roots along the sides of the canoe. This brings the bark upwards to the height of the future gunwales.
I also remove the ''building frame'' from the bottom of the canoe and insert in my pre-made gunwale frame. I use blocks to put the gunwale frame at the appropriate heights.
