Coos Snowshoes
The framework of their snowshoes use steam bent Ash wood which grows locally in New Hampshire. It bends well, is strong yet light, and is also attractive. For the weaving they use rawhide obtained locally from hunters and farmers.
Coos snowshoes are hand made in Lancaster, New Hampshire using all locally sourced components.
Country Ways
Steam bent white ash, laced by one of the experienced craftspeople, we like to refer to them as "elves". Then dipped every 24 hours in our varnish tank 3-4 times and then given time to dry. Not a fast process, but one that produces a truly great pair of snowshoes.
Folks buy them as cabin wall hangers because they are unique works of art. Others buy the same snowshoes to be used by search and rescue teams because of the quality, flotation and durability.
