The wood looks like it maybe ash? Anyone else think different? If you check for any movement in the axe, and it seems solid, then cautiously try it out. Go to a safe area, try a gentle swing into 'soft' wood, ie a tree stump. Then try 'wiggling' the handle around with increasing force until it...

Did you know about the little bonus ...?

Looks a beautiful day, thanks for sharing it with us Michael :)

Was out in the hammock with Jamie, a good friend of mine on the 10th. Proper muddy and the rain was hammering down most of the time, but hey.... get out there when you can! :hammock: This pic is a screen grab from a video file - it sot of matches up to the quality of the trip - a bit muddy...

hi quietone, i'm not sure what it is, sorry. There'll be someone come along and tell us in a bit.... :D I lack much in knowledge :o Whatever they are, the tree was full of them! Certainly looks like an ear...

A couple of simple ones on a much smaller scale! Not epic, nothing grandiose - but thought i'd share them with you anyway... :sun: ... and a hint of spring ..... ?

Hi Alf, like those pics very much! Great character and mood captured there, thanks ! :thankyou:

Looks like a good meating house..... :lmao:

Toddy, it may be some kind of moth larvae? Brown or white shouldered house moth? Look at the rear and mid placed feet... Not sure, but don't think it's a beetle larvae tho?

"Curses, 'foiled' again..." that was terrible, sorry ! Anyway, on with the thread... Although the idea of eating through a whole box of Quality Street *just* in the interests of *cough* 'research' appeals... me thinks perhaps i'd better 'knot' , else paddling mi own canoe would get that...

Just be glad it's not the size of the fella above... !!! :yikes:

Well Andy, the cream does seem to soothe a dry sense of humour, and the 'Shea butter' can help with the wise cracks... :lmao: You're welcome Dave !

Hi all, Thought i'd share a quick, cheap and easy way to keep a Mora 164, hook, crook, spoon carving knife safe. Not sure whether to call it a sheath or a holster. I'm sure someone will explain and advise me on the right terminology... :p i've seen the lovely leather covers and the carved...
