Chestnut Carry Handles

Anybody have a good picture of an older Chestnut carry thwart they could post? I'm thinking of adding them to my '70s prospector to make it a little easier on the kids. Thanks!

A thwart on my Cruiser 17 is 1.25" wide and 0.75" thick. See the crosssection drawing for the dimensions.

Is that carry thwart original?

I believe it is original. The previous owner who sold me the canoe told me the canoe had not been repaired or restored after he bought it from Chestnut company in70's.
