hello, this is my first post on this forum. i did a search for "leather canoe" on Google because i thought it would be intresting to try to make one, and figured id be able to find an Inuit technique or something online but the only site that came up that was actually talking about building a leather canoe was this one. so i signed up just to ask if your friend ever ended up making the canoe?
im curious to the best method of waterproofing the leather. i see that they used Lanolin in that book, but would that work with thinner leather(i guess the leather they used was 1" thick)?
im not much of a leathercrafter but i thought Lanolin softened leather? before searching online i figured i would be using wax or something, i just thought the leather would need to be hard.
