Model Canoe (Haida)
While I was at the Home Depot looking for some electrical parts for my new silk screen exposure unit I happened upon some nice looking old growth red cedar. The piece was a 12 foot long 2x2, after looking at some designs and possible totem pole models I decided it was too small to do anything with except for a few small canoe models.
I've always been fascinated with the Haida canoes so I did some research online and looked through my books to get some ideas for the correct shape. This model is a bit short compared to the real thing but my intent was to get the bow and the stern right so the overall length was not so critical. Being so small it was a bit hard to carve but overall I thought it came out pretty good.
