    Sword of Goujian

    Hello some unusual blade I found info about yesterday and thought I share it. Perhaps not very bushcraft related... Sword of Goujian more then 2000 years old and still very sharp and almost no sign of time. Found it quite amazing :D. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword_of_Goujian...

    Started a spalted birch burl carving knife handle

    Made some progress. I cut out many handle blanks but some have cracked. Some pieces are very tricky to dry! I have them wrapped in cloth.

    Started a spalted birch burl carving knife handle

    my big mouth again......

    If its knotty, bent, twisted then the bow will have character. But if you never done like 20 bows before so give it a try, at least you get firewood and perhaps small blanks for knife handles :D. Bow making is an art like nothing else, I've done some bows but never a high pound one.

    Fillet knife with leather sheath "upcycled"

    Nice knife find Mors :). I have dozen of old knifes "Jernbolaget Eskilstuna" there are some different names/logotypes but I rarely buy them for more then 10 sek each.

    Swedish Lap vise

    It is a nice idea! I live in Sweden and I've see someone use that kind of "vise" but it is miles away from beeing common. Professional woodcarvers don't seem to use it.

    Fillet knife with leather sheath "upcycled"

    Hello I reused an old fillet knife, changed the handle and made a leather sheath for it :). I glued the handle together, the tang is tapered toward the blade so no risk it gonna slip out so I skipped the pegs.

    Finished a flea market "svepask"

    Hello found this beauty at a flea market for 20 Swedish Kronor. I could not resist. The design and build quality are very good but the finish seemed kinda rushed. So today I polished it up a bit and put on some beeswax and linseed oil :). I'm sorry but I can't find the english word for "svepask"...
