Make snowshoes - PEM BB traditional.wood.snowshoes

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the Wood badge in Traditional Skills.

Traveling in the winter when there isn't a road can be a challenge or an opportunity.  Steep terrain is sometimes easier to traverse in the winter if you have snowshoes.  Let's try to make a pair!

 
 

Here's one way to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Make a traditional snowshoe set
  - Roughly copy a historical snowshoe style
  - Hardwood frame
  - Including the binding
  - This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - The materials you're starting with
  - Frame under construction
  - Lacing underway
  - Finished snowshoe set
  - Explanation of how it matches a historical snowshoe style (Ojibwa, etc)
