Bench seats were added at each end. Woven mats were placed at the bottom of the boat, then four posts were secured to the support stringers. This allowed a framework to be erected on which palm cloth could be added for shade. Four paddles were carved and ready for use in notches carved into the boat hull.

As the canoe was nearing completion the interior and exterior was continually being scraped and sanded.

Finally, the day arrived when James announced the boat was complete and could be coated with a resinous fluid made of boiled tree sap. The sap hardened to a glossy sheen. A long rope was installed for tying up the boat when docked at the shoreline. As a final touch, the weapon maker carved a headpiece for the bow. It was in the shape of a sun, emitting rays. Each ray was stained a bright yellow hue, while the central sun disc was stained a fiery red. It was carefully installed in the bow end of the boat

A quiet ceremony was offered by the shaman before the entire tribe. He offered thanks to the gods that be, for allowing the creation of this magic vessel.
