Building a Log Cabin and Observing the Environs, 1953 Spiral Bound Pocket Sketchbook slate with repair just lovely and lovingly made

just lovely and lovingly made from heads to toes

Clearly meant to represent a gourd

I would absolutely have to remove that page

Building a Log Cabin and Observing the Environs, 1953 Spiral Bound Pocket Sketchbook slate with repair just lovely and lovingly madeSeems to me the person who kept this little notebook was planning or in the process of building a cabin in the woods, with several pages devoted to details of construction the laying of the logs, front door (I really like that drawing just as a drawing), windows, fireplace, etc. but then there are also sketches of the environs and, I presume, the family dog. All drawings documented. 6" x 4" notebook. All pages with drawings pictured, with empty pages
