I'm always putting up posts of other paddlemakers today making traditional gear.<br /><br />If you haven't already seen it, there is a detailed biography of Peter Paul Buffalo (Minnesota) online <a href="http://www.d.umn.edu/cla/faculty/troufs/Buffalo/PB14.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>. Chapter 14 talks about ricing season. Seem the old timer wasn't a fan of forked poles but used a paddle like your great grandfather. Anyway, lots of great historic photos and details in the writeup that you might enjoy.Murathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482734358888755004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8157484949428480187.post-6834515297455298632015-09-26T21:21:05.709-04:002015-09-26T21:21:05.709-04:00You have an amazing set of knowledge.

I am in in the process of making a set of paddles for my family birch bark canoe.DANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150660041208633962noreply@blogger.com
