Where on the spey was it again? You didn't do the washing machine sitting up? Remember reading that post

Shame really Mr. Broch, you're missing a good one I'm waiting until Scotland reopens and we'll be doing the NC500 IN the motorhome. And who knows, the BCP might still be here. I'm lucky enough not having to sell. Just couldn't see my pride gathering dust in the barn.

Unfortunately the time has come for me to give up canoeing. So I'm selling my BCP16. Dodgy knees and hip as well as my back just won't let me anymore. The canoe has the usual scrapes and bumps but is structurally sound. It's Royalex and weighs a mere 21kg. It comes with an original Bell kneeling...

Need trout now ......

Can't see your pics. I've used a carton box with skewers pushed through to smoke trout. I'm famous in the village for my smoked fish

Made another one, now I ran out of birch!!

Full head of white'n'grey hair, same colour beard. My girls ate threatening me with having a go at my Wildman' s appearance. Now that's really scary

Subscribed after watching man in the woods. Loved it

I do like my TBS Boar sheath. And since I bought I only wore it vertically once, the first time. I got used to carrying it horizontally on my belt

Same here, knees knackered, back's aching most of the time. But I will get round to trying it soon

Spot on!!

If you can kneel, get the Apache. If you can't, get the you. Other options are Kevlar or Royalex canoes. I've got a Bell Chestnut Prospector that weighs only 21 kg

Just as I thought, as long as it's the whisky bits of a paper birch. The question really came from my neighbour who planted a paper birch 6 years ago . Thank you all for your replies

This is probably a stupid question but, if I use and peel off the thin layers of bark of a young silver birch, does it grow back? I only take off what's already loose ? I thought it did?

Ooops, sorry

Couldn't live without my woodgasifying stove. Especially good when you're not allowed open fires https://i.postimg.cc/V6Mz9Hg5/20171029-104823.jpg

I read about this saltwater boiling but didn't fancy tea or coffee tasting of salt for months after. I watched a YT video in which the guy wrapped his kuksa in paper, really tight like a mummy. Then put it in a shoe box, more paper into the box and then let it dry. I did that and apart from a...

For a start I don't have the full round 1" chisel. You can see that in the video. So to smooth the inside I used my hook knife.

Cut a log off of some birch tree that had just been felled. Did a video at the time. I'm pleased as I did it all by hand, no machines. Just put some stain on that I found in the neighbour's shed. Kind of "reappropriation !!

Last touch to the kuksa i made some time ago. Tomorrow I'll start a new, more traditional one!!
