Building Snowshoes and Snowshoe Furniture

Building Snowshoes and Snowshoe Furniture Review

Part one of this book is an updated version of Gil’s classic book on building snowshoes. New in this new work is the lacing section which has all new and very clear step-by-step photos and descriptions of the lacing, or filling, process. All phases of snowshoe building are covered in detail including steam bending, shaping and assembly. There is also a chapter dealing with the special problems associated with making bearpaws. Instructions for making two different types of harnesses are also included.

Part two contains detailed instructions on building snowshoe furniture. Included are two wood bending methods along with implicit instructions for constructing five diffferent pieces of snowshoe furntiure: Two sizes of snowshoe rocking chairs, a coffee table, an end table, a footstool, and a wood holder. Gil has included ideas for several other pieces that are possible using existing forms. Detailed plans and patterns are included.
