Volunteers spent 700 hours using replica tools and fire to carve out the Bronze Age-style log boats.
Two Bronze Age-style log boats are ready to float after a team of volunteers completed their build using replica tools and fire.
Heritage co-ordinator Nadia Norman said: "Everything has been done true to the Bronze Age era, from the tools they used to how the boats would have been piloted."Before they began, they cast their own replica tools using existing axes as templates, taking the heads home to whittle the wooden handlesThe only methods used on the boat build were those known to be available in the Bronze Age
The team of 10 spent more than 700 hours creating the boats from a fallen lime tree donated by Boughton House, near Kettering.
