    I bet it will hold a lot of Kung Pao chicken.
    Good fishing technique trumps all.....wish I had it.

    Vise Varmint, I think the words you were looking for was "Thinking outside the TAKE OUT BOX"!?
    "Two years collecting chopsticks"......."three months gluing them together".................. "Not sure, however, if it'll float, weighing 66 pounds"!?!
    I've heard about "strange and unique ideas/projects", before, I even heard about a guy in another country that is hung up so much on baking bread, that he posts pictures of his creations on the Internet. Others, that believe it, or not, will spend countless dollars and unknown amounts of time.......binding dead animals parts and feathers, onto thin pieces of wire then expect fish to eat them!?!
    So,maybe, "making a chopstick canoe, that may not float", isn't ALL the strange after all!?

    I suspect it will float well and not be as affected by the wind as much as other canoes. Perhaps an excellent fishing canoe. Sometimes weight is an advantage.

    No question it will float. But did he waterproof it adequately ??

    Kind of reminds me of the commercial where the guy jumps off the bridge with some homemade wings and someone says "He can fly !!" Then the guy lands in the river and someone says "But he can't swim."

    Seriously - whatever it is made of, it is a work of craft and art. Hats off to that fellow.
    The fish are always right.

    Viking lollystick longboat sails


    The Sea Heart Ship project was backed by OLA ice cream

    A replica Viking longboat made out of 15 million ice cream sticks has been launched in Amsterdam harbour.
    The ship was painstakingly glued together by former Hollywood stuntman Robert McDonald and two friends - a job that took two years.
    The sticks were collected by children all over the world. Mr McDonald is claiming the world record for the biggest boat made that way.
    He hopes to sail the 15m (50ft) ship across the Atlantic.
    The ship carried a crew of 20 on its maiden voyage.
