Why didn't the Eastern Woodlands build their canoes the same way as the Chumash?

You are thinking of the unique sewn plank boats (tomol) made by the Coast Chumash of the area that became California. Splitting planks efficiently is a skill that only seems to have been used by tribes along the west coast of North America and never spread into any other region. Most of the west coast tribes only used their planks for housing.
The eastern woodlands tribes also had an effective way of building canoes using a flexible framework covered with sheets of bark, with all seams and joins sealed with tree sap. The availability of the correct species of birch in vast quantities for this technique dictated its use; the planed redwood timber used by the Chumash simply wasn't available in the east.
This is an excellent example of different Natural Resources being used by different native cultures in different areas to resolve the same problem - in this case how to travel efficiently by water.
