This afternoons project, small scoop made using just a saw, a band saw in this case because its there and it made life easier, but this could be made in the field with just a bowsaw or a small folding saw.
The only other thing i used was a bit of wood glue, but this could be substituted for pine pitch, or you could awl some small holes with a sharpened piece of bone or antler and use small wooden pegs to secure the sides.
Raw material in this case starts as an offcut of 4 x 2" waste timber, but you could easily use a small log.
