Someone asked me about Alaska picks, but I couldn't find the email address to send these photos. Hope this gets to you, Donna!
I use nailclippers to trim them and boiling water and a wooden spoon handle to size them.*
*Note: the boiling water is in an inch of water in a coffee mug, removed from the source of heat.
In addition, if there's information to share about the Fred Kelley Freedom pick, as Old Woodchuck did below, please do so.
