Oh no, not an art vs. craft debate!

Yes I made it, and it is craft and not art, I don't consider myself as an artist

Regardless - it's a thing of beauty.

Francois,
That has to be one of the nicer ones I've seen...very nice lines. How long have you been building them? Very nice craftmanship!

About 300 hours to put it together that is without gathering the material, roots, suitable bark and knot free cedar

I have been making birchbark canoes for 9 years and I have made about 20 of them. I am asking who ever makes me a reasonable offer...
