Hi, Its' been a while since I've posted, work, travel, and a kitchen remodel kinda tie you up a bit. Finally got back to the chainsaw, man I miss the smell of its exhaust. I've been wanting to do one of these for a while. This is just a test for the dugout outrigger canoe and sail event that has been postponed for odd reasons.

This is going to be a small one only 7 ft long, similar to one I saw in a New Guinea anthropology book that was used for fishing offshore, but within the reef. But I decided to do a croc head canoe prow to honor Gman's recent conquest! The size was also dictated by where I hope to eventually hang it for display.

It is roughed out ready for finish carving. I have it propped up and loosely "rigged" with HomeDepot tie-down cord---ie nylon cord.

I've finished a couple of projects, but have to slow down a bit to take some pictures.

Thanks for looking.
