ManXs Penobscot Replica

ManXs Topic, Penobscot Topic, Replica Topic,

I recently received a comment from blog reader ManX who provided a link to his paddle project. The original forum post needed to be translated from Italian and from what I gathered, he split a plank from a log of Black Cherry (P. Serotina) wood back in 2012 and just recently finished carving a paddle inspired by the c1900 Antique Penobscot paddle posted back in 2011.


Penobscot Carved Wood Paddle
circa 1900
length: 77 inches

His post features plenty more photos but here are few showcasing his work...


P. serotina log split


2 cleaned planks


End sealed with birch tar

Completed Paddle Oiled


In the end he opted for a more ottertail style blade in his final creation. It must have been very satisfying to go from log to paddle after a 3 year wait. Well done ManX!

Bark Canoes in Arnhem Land Australia

Image
This short video clip, filmed in 1948 in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia, shows a few of the steps of building a bark canoe and a bit of paddling what appears to be a different canoe at the conclusion of a successful sea turtle hunt. Source: (Australia) National Film and Sound Archive What we observe of the canoe under construction: The bark was stripped in a rectangular section, not the ovoid or lozenge-shaped sections as were used for the canoes of the Murray Valley and as seen in the image at the bottom of this post. The bark appears to be charred on the inside of the hull. This might have been done to make it more flexible, to harden it, or to drive out insects and/or moisture and prevent rot. The bark is folded roughly in half and held upright by stakes driven into the ground, which define the width of the hull. The ends are stitched closed with what we presume is vegetable fiber. The stitching is on an angle for a bit of bow or stern overhang. The bark is cut back to a

A date in Lucca with some very professional KILLERS

Image
July 16-17, 2013   It was time to jump ship for a while as we had a very important meeting arranged in Northern Italy with The Killers . No! Not the Mafioso type killers, but the very successful rock band from Las Vegas that goes by that name. Rob’s brother, Michael, is the band’s production manager and as it was getting on towards three years since we’d seen him we thought their appearance at the Lucca Summer Festival was too good a chance to pass up.  There's nothing like spending an evening with four Killers from Vegas. So after spending the past month making our way south along the Italian coast, we were headed back north again almost to whence we came from. We caught an early bus from the marina into the nearby town of Ostia where we took a train into Rome’s Termini central station, connected with a nice speedy Eurorail train to Florence for a ninety minute stop over before boarding a regional train to Lucca and finally a taxi to the hotel. It may not have taken a month to
