I don't do the burning There's a young lady here in the village that dose it. She dose a great job. She's always looking for work. I'm sure we can set something up for you. She charged me $120.00 for this job.

Steve I built my own mold in 2005 I just restored canoes up until then. You would have to be a blood relative and willing to sell your soul to the devil to get one of the old grand laker forms around this town. I have been accused of pattern infringements by some This canoe I am starting this week will be the 10th of from it.

That is a very cool deck. Is it the same artist that has the burnings in the Pine Tree Store?

Yes and she works there now too. The store has new owners with some new ideas. The town's excited about it.

I had heard about new owners. It will be odd not to go in there and see Kurt or Kathy behind the counter.

If I could be up there now I sure would! I have to wait until mid June, when the salmon will hopefully be biting as much as the black flies!
