Tony's carving "Northern Noah" is a bit naïve, a bit folksy, and full of humour. It brings a smile to the viewers face somewhat like Vance Theoret's "Bear in a Birchbark Canoe" also in the McCreath Canoe Collection. An old man figure, "Noah" paddles a colourful wooden canoe in which stands a bull moose and a resting cow moose. Noah, with his long white beard and flowing green cap is paddling and seated directly behind the bull moose who stands as a sentinel in the bow of the canoe. There is really no room in the canoe for any movement by the passengers and that adds a sense of hilarity to the work. The canoe is painted white with red gunwales, the paddle is red and the bottom of the canoe is green in a simulated wave pattern indicating movement of the vessel. The movement would be incredibly slow as the occupants weight would create great stress on Noah and the canoe.
