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.

Okay...I have made a few dozen of the western great lakes style with the round hoop, but not the Iroquois style.
I love traditional lacrosse! Bare feet and wood sticks...

Did you play Isaac?
Not modern laX. A bunch of us started it going at historical reenactments. Shirts v. Skins... Bare feet and wooden sticks. No pads, no rules. The only standing rule is that you shouldn't do something to someone that you wouldn't want done to you. When younger kids play, we all lighten up. An article ws written on the history of laX in the fur trade and of the us of it in modern reenactment in the "Journal of the Early Americas."

Really good idea!! always wanted to do one of these, I played LAX for about 7 years in my younger days
