A very lovely Gransfors Bruks Small Carving Hatchet (Centre Grind) with GB sheath and a hand-carved handle, bit stamped with KS. This is not one of GB's 'Carving Axes' or 'Swedish Carving Axes', it is the Tiny 'Carving Hatchet'. It is a pleasure to work with but it's too small for my big...

1 x Beautiful and strong Left handed Svante Djarv Large Spoon Carving knife. (The left-handed knife is the top one in the photo, the right handed one is sold) Bought around a year ago but has only been used for around an hour, it's still 'factory' sharp and hasn't had any further...

I'm on the lookout for a number of things as I will be mostly nomadic in the UK this summer. And seeing as it's a UK summer, first on my list is: Looking for: A Whoopee sling system for a hammock. Extra paracord (5m lengths) Waterproof socks. Travel sharpening system suitable for sharpening...

I have no experience with leatherwork and have recently purchased a Hultafors Agador 1 3/4lb Carpenters Axe - It looks, feels and works very nicely but I don't have anything to fashion into protection for the edge so was hoping someone here may have a sheath that would suit, or would be able to...

I collected a large carrier bag of King Alfred's Cakes (Daldinia concentrica) last autumn (Only picked 1/4 of what was there, tons left!). They are now nice and dry - in various sizes from 1" up to 4" and many broken bits. I was going to save more up for a BBQ in the woods which I might...

A reluctant sale of a high quality sleeping bag. This one: http://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/64-Ray-Mears-4-Season-Sleeping-Bag-Golden-Eagle/ It was bought last year and used only twice with a silk liner in dry conditions. No rips, holes, tears or snags (I've given this a good look...

I was going to post this in the makers section of the forum (but I'm not a maker) so I hope here is suitable. I'm re-skinning and re-heading an ashiko drum and finding it difficult to source some 10" Steel rings from the UK. I wonder if there are any metal workers that can fashion 2 of these...

I've been looking for a website to order some Djembe rope - Kernmantle. Something with a braided core (preferrably nylon), braided jack, maybe pre-stretched in 4mm. I need around 25 Metres and then I need 2 steel rings with an internal diameter of 10.5"... but can I find a supplier in the UK...

I'm reskinning an ashiko hand drum and I have a 12" circle of Goat's skin. Having never worked with skins before I'm wondering what this may be useful for. Any ideas? Cheers.

Bi-Laminated Polyester liners, waterproof outer with draw cords, compression straps and hanging loops. Unused and like new. Not sure on the size but I have large hands and they fit me comfortably. Can't find a good reference for these online so am requesting £20 which includes postage and...

OK, one final push with these. I have 42 Money's fists, 30 Rattles snake Fobs/Pulls and 52 Bracelets of varying styles. (Even just materials come to a total of over £100!) The details can be found in this thread (Please note that I have traded a few of these, so the numbers in this thread are...

I've not been bushcrafting or carving much these past few weeks as I had about 1cm of my right index finger bitten off by a dog :( In my despair at losing the tip of my dominant hand's index finger (one of the most used parts of my body), I thought this crafting game was over - but now it's had...

Hi - it's not particularly bushcrafty but I have a cheapo 'Tooltec' 900W electric planer with a busted blade and can I find a spare blade for it? Can I 'eck....so I thought I would ask you knowledgeable lot.... I called the people at tooltec.co.uk but they are not the tooltec I'm after - lady...

Decided to get rid of my paracord stock as I had the end of my finger bitten off by a dog a few days ago :( and I am currently out of action at work and need to earn some money...I am also raising funds to pay off my Woodland Pioneers place - so the proceeds are going to a good cause! I am...

It's been a while since I posted any makes - even though I have been busy carving spoons and scoops etc... I have been inspired to make one of these from the handful of posts on here (and the subsequent sources), and it was my neices birthday - I wanted to give her a hand made piece of mine as...

I'm wanting to set up a small website with a few parallel blogs (bushcraft/greenwood carving, wild food, fungus and probably a few others) and I know it's quite easy to google and find a whole smattering of half decent hosts (with UK/European servers) but as many of you here already operate...

As mentioned in the Deer Antler for sale thread, the proceeds of these sales will go towards paying the fee's for the Woodland Pioneers course I am booked on, but I am also looking for trades/swaps for the following items: Spoon or crooked knives (Orford or Westerman preferred - can handle...

I'm raising funds for the Woodland Pioneers course I am booked on, so am selling a few items to help with this. As the course is a while off, not only am I looking to sell things, but I am also looking for trades/swaps. Items wanted include: Quality spoon and/or crook knives (Orford, Westerman)...

Stumbled upon this earlier and thought it may be of interest to some people: http://www.wineanorak.com/corks/howcorkismade.htm Very interesting process. I remember some Cork Oaks (Quercus suber) when I visted Cornwall years ago and am very unsure about how far north these go, does anyone...

I don't fancy paying around £1 a piece - which is the price I can find on the net. Well, not at least until I've checked here...
