Arrowhead Bow Decal
Art -
St. Louis Boat & Canoe Company,
Circa 1941
Do you have an old decal or insignia plate from your canoe or boat
that you need a reproduction of? There is a good chance that I can
re-create it as an identical reproduction for use on your craft.
A wonderful gift idea, you might consider having it reproduced as a
large piece of art-work such as the one on the left to hang on your
wall.

Splendid memories over hundreds of knots and lakeside campfires!

An avid Canoeist since I was old enough
to hold a paddle in my hands, I've discovered the quiet, romantic beauty
of roaming about
on backcountry lakes or floating down miles of rivers.
Born and raised in Michigan, "Cedar Moon" depicts the early
morning hours spent paddling on Blue Lake, located in the northern
part of the state.
During my teenage youth, as others slept in the
warmth of the cabin I would venture out in the morning darkness to
paddle Dad's old "Arrowhead" cedar and canvas canoe. Ah, this was my
escape! Perched atop a severely worn cane woven seat with fishing gear lying
across the wood planking under my feet, I was free to explore the magical,
morning wonders of nature
- my personal version of paradise.
There was nothing to compare of the damp chill and the refreshing,
wonderful scent of water and cedar in the air before dawn. My soul was
always touched with the eerie waking call of a Loon far across the water.
And as nature would allow it, once again the sun would
make it's grand entrance, promising yet another fine day out on the
lake.
