Dry stone waller Kenny Tauch, ( a DSWAC member who earned his intermediate certification at our 2010 Rocktoberfest along with two other Canadian wallers ) recently built two stone features commissioned by Parks Canada Agency at the Port au Choix National Historic Site.

He lives and works in Cornerbrook Newfoundland.

The Dorset Doorway at Point Riche serves as a gateway for interpretive walks through the fields of an old Dorset settlement. The structure is reminiscent of the traditional style dwelling: a depression lined with stone and covered by a canopy of seal skin and whale bones. Larger stones mark the entrance which leads to a central soapstone fire box.

The metal whale bone sculptures were designed and constructed by a Newfoundland artist.
