: What kind of log had they started with? I have just seen redwood
: dugouts in northern Calif., which were more crude, and simply
: dug out. I had no idea that some were more engineered.

They use cedar logs for the canoes. If you want to see some more works of art, check out "Coast Salish Travel Canoes" on Google images. Also checkout the annual Canoe Journey's There will be one finishing in Neah Bay in mid July hosted by the Makah Tribe.

This photo was taken in 2009 when the Lummi Tribe hosted the Journey.
