Snow shoe?

(1/2) > >>

---GUTSHOT--->:
Has any one out there made any snow shoes. Looking for some pics  and some knowledge on how to make a pair. Thanks

blackhawk:
I have not,but have wanted too. There's some info out there online,and a couple books. Most use and say white ash is the best to use. Which I have plenty of sitting in my shop,and rawhide for the lacing.  Hmmm? Maybe its time I make my own. Shouldnt be too hard seeing I already have the skill sets and material to do so.

chamookman:
The book - "Camp and Trail Methods" by E. Kreps includes great how-to section on Snowshoes and a toboggan also. Old timey book available thru Fur-Fish and Game magazine. It's a great read - Bob.

mullet:
Do a search on here. I think someone on here made some a couple of years ago.

JoJoDapyro:
I did as a boy scout out of willow. Larger for the U shaped frame, smaller woven to make the platform and bindings.
