I don't own any crests or totems, so I won't carve any of those kinds of things. However, everybody is welcome to carve story poles. Maybe they describe lives or adventures (like the new Edenshaw pole in Jasper National Park = A Tale of Two Brothers.)
I've been chewing away at a few of them for years. A short story pole (24"?) and a pair of 64" x 5" poles. The butterfly wings will be ( I hope) glue ups of thin cedar shingles. Wish me luck on that one.
Anyway, local newspaper came over and did a piece.
They got all of the details correct, which is refreshing.
This is a copy of the page forwarded by the author, not too clear but you get the idea.
You can only guess how tedious the caterpillar carving has become.
