I took these pictures this last fall at Grand Portage NP. They were carved by Walter Caribou, who was a long time caretaker at the fort. I like them alot. The colors are nice.
Paddle 3 above. Paddle 4 below.
In this one, you may be able to see the jagged edges on the blade near the throat of the paddle. It is a carved stair step type pattern. Very cool. Paddle 1 right. Paddle 2 left.
Paddle 6 left. Paddle 5 right.
The small paddle is a cribbage board.
