This is my newly made kuksa. I just "found" a willow burl I had lying in the shed for some years and desided to make something of it. As it was to small for new scales for my BK-9 I made a small kuksa out of it. The kuksa holds about 15cl of fluid. I did not use hand tools to...

Last weekend a friend and I decided it was time we got out camping and fishing. Our target was the inner end of the lake Heggmo as none of us had been there earlier. There is a road going all the way to the lake, but since it is a water source for the city the road is closed for cars...

After Waylands "bombardment" of saami crafts pictures and links, I got inspiration to make a pouch for my daughters flint and steel kit. As I`m lazy and didn`t want to use too much time I decided to make one in wool (vadmel), not leather. I had som scraps lying around from earlier projects...

As my father dropped by on his way south we decided to go on a fishing trip to Vatnet, a nearby lake. Even though spring is a month away the temperature was good and our spirits high. We had never fished (on the ice) in this part of the lake before, but we knew that the area had nice sand...

I had a slab of birch and my Brusletto was in need of a new sheath. The knife was found in the wild by a friend of mine several years ago. The tip was broken but I fixed it on a belt sander. I made a pouch sheath for it but the leather (cromium tanned) was thin and flimsy and the knife...
