Hi, I'm a novice green wood worker from the UK and I love your work, we need to try and keep the old skills alive. You are a true craftsman.

Very cool, Stephen. I enjoyed this.

George is one of the few men that make snowshoes in the Interior of Alaska. He is one of the few young men that carries on this technique. Very proud of him.
