    Crafting a wand

    Agreed about the distortion, but for something like a wand a 2" log spit to 1/4s and force dried would give plenty of material to be carved straight.

    Crafting a wand

    Just a quick note on rowan ( mountain ash), it is notorious for splitting! (we named our son after this tree, so have been using it a lot since!) as said seal the ends and let it season slowly. alternatively, get a log 2-3" thickness and force seasoning/ slitting. (stick it on a radiator...

    another possibility is to have the branches drawn up so that they form the shapes of bush crafty objects, an axe, kulksa, knife, etc. ...but to be honest that may just wreck it. atb Ste p.s. although following with the silluette theme working around the wrist (if you follow) you could add an...

    homemade saw for harvesting spoon wood

    Just to pick your brain, Forginhill, do you think if you sanded down a couple of the teeth to extended the tang with a dremmal tool it would provide a more secure fitting? or would it just mess up the hardness? have a baby sitter tomorrow and want to give this a go.. atb, Ste

    Stew in a tin are there any decent ones

    I'd be a big fan of 'Princes' Irish stew or steak in gravy. two tins, a few carrots, an oinion and a potato or two boiled up in a stockcube/ seasoning and then tins added to this, Very filling meal for 2-3 people. the can on its own can taste the littlest bit greasy, but with some fresh stuff...
