Hi friends hoping everyone is staying safe and healthy , we will prevail.

I have been thinking about how to approach  the project starting April 1 2020.

I am thinking of start naming and releasing canoes with a story , at first I will release canoes about people and pets that have impacted my life .

In the meantime please enjoy a few images of the last remaining ice at the river.

Hi everyone , hope all is well with everyone.
I took a few moments to review prior posts from last summer and it made me smile

I have been busy in my studio creating new "lil red canoes"
they are now 3" long , having more room on the bottom to burn names only
they are still soaked in red wine to be environmentally friendly and give them the unique red colour

Here is a updated image and as you can see the fleet is growing daily.

Again wishing everyone good health in this very difficult time.

As the world is under a lot of pressure in these trying times , now is the time to reflect and evolve the new normal , this pandemic will pass , and a new one may evolve and be more prepared.

My lil red canoe is a social project and will continue to be just that with precautions.

Like the world has evolved so has the lil red canoe.

They are slightly larger , 3 inches , they are still hand crafted in pine , soaked in red wine and burned.

The reason I decided to make them larger is to have the space on the bottom available to burn a first name only and no number , ( I will continue to compile statistics on the numbers) again this project will remain free for anyone the requests one to be set free.

So Starting April 1 2020 , I will have plenty of them ready to begin their journey's down the Miskwaa ziibi river to anywhere in the world through the Trent system.

Here is the 1st new "Lil Red Canoe"

Hey everyone , it has been a long winter, I will be starting up the lil red canoe project again this spring

Starting April 1 2020 , I will be releasing little canoes with a new twist going into 2020

The canoes will be a little larger at 3 inches long , still will be soaked in red wine , however not numbered , the visitors can have a name burned on the bottom , and this will be done upon request.

Stay tuned for more interesting stories and images.
