You can't live near Suttle Lake in the Cascades and not know about Sasquatch!
While making this monster 4 ¼ inch shuttle, Dave was inspired by the legends of Big Foot roaming the wilderness areas of the Pacific Northwest, so he named it the “Sasquatch”.
This shuttle is similar in size to the popular large plastic Tatsy shuttle, but it is made out of Oregon Myrtlewood. Dave has burn etched our Cascade Mountains logo on one side and a “Big Foot” print on the other. It has been initialed and dated by Dave, the maker.
