COMB: one example, made of moose horn, perhaps unique in shape,
consisted of small set of teeth at the end of a very long handle.
(Bushnell, p. 683)
DUGOUT CANOE: pine or chestnut; size variable—some 40-50 feet long
will carry 20 people; others are about one and a half to two feet
wide and twenty feet long; hollowed out of tree trunks. (Wood, p.
102; Gookin, p. 152)
BIRCH BARK CANOES: sizes probably various—one that would carry
nine passengers was 17′ × 4′, weighing about 60 pounds; another
had a seating capacity of five or six. Seams were closed by sewing
“oziers or twigs” and pitched; ends were pointed, fore and aft,
but the bow curved slightly upwards. Inside were thin, broad ribs.
(Wood, p. 102; Pring, p. 58; Gookin, pp. 152-53)
CANOE PADDLES: ash or maple; lightweight, length about two yards,
flat on the ends. (Pring, p. 58)
SAILS: used occasionally; mast of small pole; consisted of skins
of the sort used for mantles, one or two of these used at a time.
(Williams, p. 133)
TOYS: bow and arrow: bow of a stick and arrows of reeds; Pottery
vessels (miniature). (Wood, pp. 97-98; Willoughby, pp. 237-39)
