The Next Great Whale (1).

The Long and Winding Wooden Road.

This next woodworking project will take a bite out of my time.

You may not know this, but Canada is home to some pretty serious whales. They can be seen in the Atlantic, the Pacific and in the St. Lawrence River too (e.g., near the mouth of the Saguenay River in Quebec).

Then there's the lesser known and rarely seen Great Lake Ontario Whale. Large and feisty, living near Toronto, and quite the boisterous hockey fan I am told. And it's a fan - along with millions of land-lubbers - that is getting impatient for the return of the Stanley Cup to its chosen surf and turf.

This next woodworking art piece - started yesterday pm - is dedicated to this feisty, boisterous, true blue, impatient species.

Photos From The Workshop:

White pine barn board and a rough sketch are at the ready. 

This long-term enemy of the whale better watch out, I say

The sketch is almost done. Where's the Bruin?

Before adding the Bruin I started removing thin layers of wood with small chisels

Skimming off the wood is a lengthy process.

To be continued.
