Ricochet

Started building a boat and really want to cancel it. Don't have the materials for it, and honestly not a fan of the type of wood I started using anyways. I tried hitting it with an axe, a saw, right clicking, digging the ground out from under the project, but can't seem to cancel the build. Anyone know if it is possible or am I stuck with a boat skeleton near my base? Looked around and didn't find any answers but I am new, so I'm sure if there is an answer it is something dumb that I should have known. Thanks.
