Jarrod has been making snowshoes since 2000. He prefers to build snowshoes in the traditional method with split Ash wood, axe and crooked knife. He has used sawn lumber on occasion. He has taught snowshoe building at a few of the local folk schools, Northland College, through his own shop, and the Boys and Girls Club of Bad River, since 2002. Snowshoes are made to order and a pair of shoes can run anywhere from about $150 for nylon lacing to about $250 for rawhide lacing. The tighter woven shoes run slightly higher, as well as a riven pair using only hand tools. If you would like a pair or want to talk shop, you can contact him at stonedahls@dishmail.net
