Traditional Thursday: Restrung Wooden Lacrosse Stick Shooting
I used goalie leathers from Stick Doctor as my four leather runners. I used the original cat gut sidewall, and was even able to salvage original leather from the pocket to re-attach the cat gut to the wooden wall. I then used about 26 feet of cross lace to string the tight ten-diamond pocket.

Traditional Thursday: Old Wood, New Life
I picked up an old Hattersley's Viktoria (made in England) on Craigslist (thanks to Chris Tiernan for physically picking it up for me), and even though it's a women's stick, it was well worth putting a new men's pocket in it to shoot around and use for coaching. Giving an old, well used stick a new life. Sounds like a job for Traditional Thursday.
Throwback Thursday: The Legendary Etienne Woodie
There are a lot of really nice old wooden sticks out there, and there are a number of stick makers who do fantastic work.
