The Dugout Canoe Project
A film by
Ken Koons
The Dugout Canoe Project was created at McDaniel College, in Westminster, Maryland, as part ofthe Common Ground on the Hill summer traditional arts program.
Starting with a 3 foot diameter by 12 foot long Sycamore tree and using only hand tools and fire, the community constructed this dugout to see what could be learned from traditional ways of working wood.
These videos explain how the boat was made and what the community discovered from working on the project.
