Canoe Built During 1720-25 Per Dendrochronological Analysis

Dave Walker's dugout canoe was probably built during the years 1720-25, according to the dendrochronological analysis of Dr. Carol Griggs of the Cornell University Tree-Ring Laboratory.

David Moyer presented the results to us at our meeting on Thursday evening 7 July 2011.

Gail Merian's estimate of 1700-29 came the closest, so she won the Golden Canoe award.  The trophy was obtained by John Antonowicz.

 Bob Mason's estimate of 1725-50 came close, so he won the Runner Up prize of a Chinese warrior buried in clay.  Gail presented the award.
