    Wood for Kuksa - source?

    Hi All, Been enjoying whittling these past few months and done a bit of axe carving throughout the summer but I really fancy having a go at a Kuksa. The problem I have is that I know 3 tree surgeons who have all promised me they'll provide me with some nice bits of wood for carving but it...

    Hand Made Leather overnight bag

    Hi Guys, This one's got a bit of a story behind it so please humour me while I bore you. The story is about 3 years ago I lent my father my Saddleback Side Pocket Duffel Bag (Linky for those interested) for a 6 month business trip to Asia. After a few weeks he called me to say he...

    Improving the Fiskars Brushhook handle?

    Hi All, I got myself a Fiskars X3 Brushhook at the weekend and have been using it to clear out one of our gardens and I have to say I am totally smitten with the thing, apart from the composite handle. Yes I know it's light and well shaped but it just doesn't feel right. Has anyone...

    Hi guys, I'm after making myself a canvas and leather bag as I'm due to do quite a bit of travelling next year with work, probably some of it quite unforgiving and need something substantial. I've tried local shops, and even bought an expensive canvas tarp off eBay but found they all seem...

    Pouch for straight razor?

    This is partly my fault I suppose. I'm looking for a straight razor pouch pattern to make from leather. My father has recently got into using a straight razor, after seeing me build up quite a collection over the past couple of years. The only thing is that he travels alot and the razors...
