He is passing on these traditions to his son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">In addition to baskets, Jacobs has recently started making wooden items from tree deadfall. Look for his beautiful cutting boards, boxes and spoons at the 2025 Wabanaki Winter Market at the Hudson Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gallery: Gerald &#8220;Butch&#8221;
