North / Northwest Posted October 27, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) American Larch, also known as tamarack. The word tamarack is the Algonquian name for the species and means "wood used for snowshoes". VL 114 Welcome, dear visitor!

fotografr Posted October 28, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 28, 2017 Very interesting. I've only seen traditional snowshoes made using ash. I enjoy snowshoeing and would like to try some made with tamarack wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

North / Northwest Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted October 29, 2017 Thank you Brent & Stuart. Brent, my old snowshoes are made from ash. My new ones are metal and a rubber like material. The new ones are light and work well but they sure don't match the looks of the old classics.
