So I had a go at making a kiridashi as my first foray into making knives (here) and used the blade from an old stanley plane, well I had another piece of steel left over with the intention of making a small carving/utility knife. Here's what I came up with: Length is 6.25", Edge is 2", 2mm...

So over the last few weeks I've been looking at getting a larger axe to compliment my smaller HB hunting axe with something a bit more powerfull/leverage for small felling. Anyways I was originally looking at getting a Gransfors either a wilderness or scandinavian forest but they are never...

Swapped Looking to trade my Flexcut carving jack, it's had very little use hence the trade, the blades are still quite sharp but could be touched but as I have never sharpened them. Leather pouch has a scuff on the front but other than that in good order. Also comes with the stropping block and...

Was carving a spoon today and halfway through roughing it out I had a thought: I have a damaged Stanley plane sitting on the shelf could i make a something out of the blade? Here Is my first try at knife making, a Japanese kiridashi all done with a dremel using abrassive cutting disks and...

Just thought I'd share somethings I recently made, my first two attempts at making any kind of jewellery. First is slate with an stone axe style shape, a futhark nauthiz rune carving and two antler beads. The second piece has two antler beads and tines, the pendant is naturally arrowhead shaped...

So I carved this spoon today just as a tester for a new spoon knife I got, a Ben Orford medium spoon knife. I had a Mora hook knife in the past but I got rid of it because I didn't get on with it. Anyway I found a perfect sized cut of wood on the firewood pile, not totally sure on the species...

So a few months ago I made a post about a Brades axe I got and restored from a disused church that sells house removals, well I have been looking for a big felling axe to add to the family that currently consists of that Brade criterion hatchet and a Hultafor hunting axe. I went back to the...

I know a lot of people are very fond of Hultafors axes but some aren't very fond of the sheath especiallyif compared to a GB axe. Now to me it doesn't really bother me as long as the sheath works but I had the tools, some scrap leather, and the idea just popped into my head. I just used the old...

Some of you might have seen my other post about a month ago where I found that Brades Criterion hatchet in an old church where it's packed to the brim with home removals all for sale. Anyway I got the hatchet for £10 took it home sharpened it and it worked great, like In my original post I...

So I just finished this spoon today and thought I'd post it. It's kind of an odd shape overall but and not sure what use it'd have but hey I made it out of a scrap piece of wood I had. It was oiled with raw linseed oil. Thanks for looking.

So I've had this axe for quite a while and recently caught the top of the haft when splitting some fire wood. No major damage but I thought I'd make a collar for it. As you can see it's a bit rough and ready, I made it out of an thick canvas shirt since I had no suitably sized leather but it...

So I've carved plenty of spoons and other things before but have never done a kuksa but I've always really liked them. About a month ago I moved to Scottish Highlands so basically I can get as much wood as I can carry for free and this is what finally pushed me over the edge. I'm not really sure...

So as some of you might know I recently moved to Scotland and I already had family up here. One of the things they were telling me is that in the next village over there is an old church which is being used for removals and is packed to the brim with stuff for sale. Well yesterday I finally...

Was out in the back garden yesterday doing some wood carving and thought this would make a good photo. Axe is a Hultafors classic hunting. Thanks for looking!

So I'm new here, I'm quite young I guess at the age of 20 but have been interested in bushcraft/primitive survival since I was a young teen and have been carving wood since I got my first pocket knife. Though living in Birmingham for the first 20 years I haven't had a whole load of wilderness...
