Lost Art of the Dugout. I know some of the people of Crusoe Island, a community down the road from me, and have paddled one of these Cyprus boats back in the late 90's. They move through the water fast with ease. I'd probably pull a @Chdamn trying to make one with a chainsaw like Tommy Spivey did in this video.

Watched a guy at Jamestown, VA work on one with a foot adze. That was work. Alternating between burning and chopping. He said they were fantastic boats though.

They paddle fast. Just don't lean too much to one side.

My grand dad made one out of pine when I was a kid, he burned and chiseled it out. We used it in the local lake a few times.. pretty cool water craft.
