"It takes a curious mind to be able to want to do it." smile on his face, Carcoana said he discovered new- found talents while building the boat. "One thing I learned was that I'm able to squeeze a glue bottle and have an even bead of glue as I pulled across the wood," he said. Carcoana realized this talent while gluing strips of wood together. According to Carcoana, each strip took about 20 minutes to assemble. "I had to shave and measure, and shave and mea- sure, and hope not to cut too deep," he said. As the strips were glued, he held each strip with one hand and placed two nails in it to hold it together. The nails were driven into the strongback, or the base of the project, which will later be removed. He then put staples between the nails to keep it intact. Carcoana estimated that he used three boxes of sta- ples and five hundred nails. The bow and the stern had to be reinforced so he steamed five strips of wood in his kitchen and laminated them to the point where the strips meet. When all of the strips were in place and the glue dried, he removed the staples and nails. It took him an entire day to do this. To smooth over the holes created by the nails, Carcoana broke toothpicks into them and started to sand the canoe. The sanding process took two days. At this point, the boat is still too weak to be removed from the strongback. Carcoana will apply epoxy [a glue-like substance] and a fiberglass fabric to the wood. The canoe will be sanded and coated with varnish. It will then be removed from the strong- back and the same process will be repeated on the inside of the canoe. Carcoana has to wait for the weather to be between 60 and 80 degrees to apply the epoxy. He was able to build the canoe over Christmas Above: Carcoana constructs a strongback for his canoe.
