Preparing Wood for Snowshoes at Ross Farm Museum - Part 1

Part 1 of this video series shows Barry Hiltz, Farm Manager of Ross Farm Museum as he begins splitting a Ash log into what will eventually be a frame for a traditional wooden snowshoe. Barry has been making snowshoes for over 25 years and does a yearly weekend demonstration at the museum showing visitors the process in which they are made. These videos were created to show everyone the work that is done prior to the snowshoe making event. Feel free to ask any questions about the snowshoe making process on here.
