There is another World Championship happening in the US this week at the Onondaga Nation, indoor (box) lacrosse. My son and I have caught a couple games and checked out the expo area featuring traditional wooden sticks.
Our reverence for the handmade frame builder reminded me of Alf Jacques, one of the few remaining traditional Iroquois stickmakers. Link is to a cool video showing him at work.
My son and I bought a wooden stick last weekend, sadly not one of Alfie's but one of his is on my list. Consider him the Richard Sachs of lax!

Just thought it was pretty cool.
