December 28th, 2009 by Tim

Hey Everyone,

I hope your Holiday’s are going well and you have a great new year. I want to thank you all for reading and watching my blog’s over this past year.  This year has been great for the blog,  thousands of visitor’s have come to the blog and lots of them have added the blog to their feeds and that’s great!  I am looking forward to this new year.

 I  just wanted to give you a look at some of our collection’s here at Wampanoag Homesite.  All of our collection’s are reproduction’s and not originals.  I will in this blog show you some bowl’s and spoon’s but we have so much more in our collection’s and I will show you them soon.  We make these bowl’s and spoon’s out of  Burl’s (these are those knot’s you see on trees) .   We make the bowl’s and spoon’s  here at Plimoth Plantation most time’s right in front of the public.   We burn them out with hot coal’s from the fire’s.

Here’s a bowl made out of a cherry burl it has a effigy of a bear on it.  This bowl is more than 15 year’s old .  This is a serving bowl.

Hey Everyone,

I Just wanted to show you some old canoes sunk in a lake just as we would of in the 17th century with heavy stones in them. I was told about this web site from freinds. This is a project the Nipmac Nation in worcester Ma. is doing in Quinsigumon’s Lake. The Boats are thought to be approximately from 1640 Ad to 1680 Ad bye carbon 14 testing done on mishoon #1. I thought you would all like to see these.

The Web page is http://projectmishoon.homestead.com to get more info on this project.

Thanks
Tim Turner
