Buck Tops of Guyana
« on: November 15, 2014, 02:00:22 PM »
Here’s a link to an interesting article I found referencing the “BUCK TOP”s of Guyana. 
There’s a description of how the children back in the day made them but unfortunately the author doesn't have a photo to accompany the article.

I like the article.  Thanks, Larry D.  It is amazing what can be developed when there is a necessity. 

I wish I could see someone using a buck top.  I looked it up on Google but did not see anything.
