Slide of the Month - Pole Crest Slide



August 2024

Time to make: 1.5 hours

Boys Life "Slide of the Month"

Oct. 1993, p. 64

Original design: Jeff Springer












The pole crest is part of the carved art of the Northwest tribes often representing birds, animals, or insects to tell the story.

 The body is carved from maple and the wings/tail are cut from a thin piece of 1/8 inch plywood. It is pained with hobby paints and finished with a couple of coats of poly.
