About this work

Model of a large pike, rounded at the front. The construction of this pike differs from other pikes: all beams and floor parts are of the same thickness and consist of two planks placed on top of each other. The result is a pike of equal thickness and assembled with simple half-lap joints. The pike rim is thicker and fitted with brass fittings.
