Absolutely brilliant. I could only guess what one of those could fetch from a collector.

One of my customers a while back made a one fourth scale model while on his travels through Canada. One of the historic forts was doing a project and he asked if he could join and make one himself. The only thing that was not authentic was the,I believe, spruce root used to sew with. They could not get it to split small enough to be of scale. He even got to strip the birch from the tree. I was fortunate enough to have been able to take a look at it before he shipped it back to the UK along with his kayak that he made in my shop.
