the guy who made it has a site. Try googling "John Lindman birchbark canoe".
the idea of building one scaled down could be a great test to foresee potential issues in the big project and familiarize with materials

Thanks GlisGlis.
I tried just his name. Didn’t add the birch bark canoe.
I was thinking the same about the half scale being a good practice run. I might go that route. It kinda depends on how my materials work out.
That strategy worked good for practicing my bowyer skills, but my poorly tillered first one and the thrill of shooting and even breaking it was what gave me the drive to keep making them.
Might have to try for something I can paddle around in. Even if it has some flaws . Not sure which way I go yet

I'd go even smaller. maybe something along 20''
that way you wont need too much materials and time but you should get an idea of the entire process
if it turns nice it could be the model to show to inexperienced people during conversation (SH)

Sorry for not posting lately but I have been busy. Between work , family and my cousin making his annual trip home, I’ve been too busy to post.
My cousin did arrive at our beach to reboot the soul.
