PORT ANGELES: CANOE CARVERS CLOSE TO WEEKEND DEADLINE 2002-07-15
by EMELINE COKELET
PORT ANGELES -- Carvers hurrying to finish a canoe for the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe are feeling the pressure of a looming deadline.
With a blessing ceremony set for Saturday and a paddle journey to Quinault that begins in two weeks, carvers Al Charles Jr., Darrell Charles and Harry Moon are pushing to finish the month-long project.
``It´s getting close to burn-out stage,´´ Charles Jr. said Sunday. ``You´re just tired and it´s really close to being done.´´
The men began June 12 with a cedar log and a vision -- carving a Coast Salish-style ocean-going canoe that packs both speed and stability and throws off two wakes.
More than a month later, the nearly finished hull sits under cover behind the Lower Elwha tribal center.
