great work! would you be so kindly to tell us how you have achieved the texture of the tree? i have not seen something like this on leather before.

sealing the ends with wood glue is also an option.

Hello, just wanted to share this really interesting project with you. It´s not mine, but i think you could be interested in it. http://www.behance.net/gallery/Butterfly-Spoon/2991639 Cheers!

really good job! did you just tattoo the pattern with a tattoo gun? you said it can be tattooed with pretty much anything...do you know if there are any cheap diy-alternatives for tattooing leather?

Hello everybody, i just found this wonderfully detailed plan for a shaving horse with measurements, wood choice, using instructions and other very interesting informations and just wanted to share it with you :) I might have a go at it myself in the next time maybe. Have fun with it...

Well, it is not a whole burl but a large on and three smaller ones. I also thought about cutting only the small ones or even only one of them to hurt the tree as few as possible. But even the small ones are larger than 3" in diameter. I think the only chance will be to ask the landowner/forestry...

Hey folks, today i spotted a nice beech burl while spending some time outdoors. I would like to remove it to make some nice things from it. The burl itself covers about half of the circumference of the trunk. But i am concerned, if the removal would cause too much damage to the living tree...

yeah, at first i also thought it would be a handle for a knife or similar. the idea with the toy gun really makes sense, like a tube you blow into but with a piston to compress the air instead.

Hello, in another Bushcraft forum someone posted the following link about traditional finnish wood working: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s6fG10mrSM&feature=player_embedded Does someone of you know, what kind of thing he is making from 27:14 to 30:40? At first i thought it would be...

that´s a brilliant work there!

hello halfgoat, how about this idea? http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=img_4178ndqy5.jpg just a quick draw.

UHUpor is also a good idea if you want to just temporary fix two pieces together. Works well on leather as well as wood. Definately a thumbs up for this glue, don´t know if they sell it in the UK though.

good idea! it doesn´t allways need to be leather for projects like that, canvas/jeans cotton is very adequate for that.

great work there! can you tell us the secret of the pattern for the webbing please? :D
