Canoe BailerNb580

Small canoe bailer made of cedar bark with wooden handle. Outer bark on exterior surface, but removed from ends which are pleated and tied to the wooden handle. The ends are secured with white cotton string which has been covered over with red cherry bark. An off-white coloured plant material, possibly yellow cedar bark, has been wrapped loosely around the length of the handle in the manner of a decoration. Small wooden splints have been inserted between the inner and outer bark, two on each side, to keep the edges straight.
