This impressive piece of handicraft was made by a handi-capped youth G. M. Strachan, who lived at Pope, Manitoba. There are 4,514 separate pieces of Balsa wood in the building and it stands eight feet high. It is entirely hand carved, and the tools used by Mr. Strachan were a fret-saw, penknife, and a chisel. Started in November 1906 it took him until May 1918 to complete its construction, a total of 11 ½ years. Designed with many European cathedrals in mind, the building appears to be a composite formed in Mr. Strachan’s imagination, and incorporating features of each, along with a Canadian beaver and moose heads.
