Abenaki Birchbark Paddle Stencil

Abenaki Topic, Birchbark Topic, Paddle Topic, Stencil Topic,

This post from 2012 discussed a book source for some of the double curved motifs used in some of my paddle decorations.  Frank Gouldsmith Speck's  Symbolism in Penobscot art (1927) has some wonderful imagery and thorough historical discussion of these motifs. Figure 12 on Page 43 describes a piece of birchbark used as a stencil template to make symmetrical patterns on a paddle blade.




Recently, I found a similar image on this twitter feed. Apparently an artifact in the Smithsonian's NMAI collection, it is a partial image of a bark template for an Abenaki paddle. I've been unsuccessfully searching for a more complete image with historical details, so for now this image will have to do...

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

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
