Snow
shoes: As an experiment I laced these with Lime and Willow
bark cordage. The frames are Ash wood steam bent to shape.
Field tested in Norway. The result of the experiment was
that the bark fibres are very strong, but do show serious
sings of wear after a relatively short time. I have since
re-laced with rawhide. |
