jeffhalfrack:
Hey guys, just wondering if there were any wood lacrosse stick makers around??? I have a son that needs to start on his skills,, and my belief is all wood to start!!!. I was a lax player for allmost 30 years, my stuff is shot let me know thanks JeffW
bubby:
jeff they are pretty easy to make, my son made a bunch of them a feww years back and gave them to the kids on the team he coached, just get the ruff deminsions, cut the angles on a table saw and sand it down, easy peasy, Bub

this is by Tom Mills the founder of Paleo Planet and tbb author.
he had a video on paleo planet that showed a gentleman making them with green hickory and the wood after steaming bent like rubber.

@ Jeff - Youtube has some lacrosse stick vids too.
Try to find Crooked Arrows - it is a movie about Lacrosse. There are trailers on Youtube.
