  It's not a kayak, it's a masterpiece

  Normal human: “to make the Kumiko deck I fired up the CNC Router” <br>Pask: “to make the kumiko deck I cut and laid out by hand 1.6 million little pieces of wood”<br>Love your work mate this is the most beautiful think I ever saw!

  I was unsure if this guy was indeed a woodworking wizard, then he pulled out the iron and dispelled all doubt!😆

  This is literally one of the most beautiful things I&apos;ve ever seen in my life. It&apos;s an heirloom quality piece of fine furniture masquerading as a kayak. Incredible work. Thanks for sharing it with us.

  Everyone else has already said it better than I can, but this is seriously one of the most amazing pieces of craftmanship I&apos;ve ever seen.

  Beautiful boat. &nbsp; But who is more unhinged; the man ironing wood shavings one by one or the man watching the man iron wood shavings?<br><br>Loved the video.

  Half way the video I was thinking &quot;this is the most beautiful thing I have seen&quot;. Then you started laying the Kumiko... <br>Honestly, what you did there is God level.

  Without a doubt, one of the most incredibly beautiful builds you have ever completed !!! &nbsp;Your skills are absolutely outstanding and NOBODY who sees the final results will believe this is your first attempt at building a canoe. &nbsp;You are a master builder in my opinion.

  You are off the chain! Immaculate craftmanship every inch of the way! I am surprised you ride the kayak because it is truly a collector item...

  Neil Paskin is the purest form of craftsman I can imagine. &nbsp;Talent, vision, creativity, and persistence. &nbsp;Your videos are always interesting, and your work shines like no other. &nbsp;I especially like whenyou point out areas that didn&apos;t go as planned, or how you fix things.<br><br>I should add, it isnot only woodworkers and artisans who will praise this work. &nbsp;I&apos;d bet a damn fine amount that any kayakers you encounter are going to go nuts when they see that beautiful boat, and then you can tell them that you builts it.

  Functional art. This is absolutely breath taking. Always wondered how people do it, now I know one way.
