The canoe and image look similar to the photo in the virtualmuseum.ca online exhibit Canoe Builders of Pikwàkanagàn where a better photo of the paddle profile is shown.

A year ago I acquired an antique band saw made in USA in the 1870s or '80s, which came with the provenance that it belonged to Matthew Bernard at Golden Lake. There are several references to him online including a movie made in the 1940s of him and his family building a bark canoe. I would really like to see a photo including the band saw. https://aifg.arizona.edu/film/portage
RIP my Grandfather's Friend.
RIP Tony Bernard your guidance feels like yesterday.
