The other day I noticed it was coming up to 12 years since I first joined this forum which got me thinking about my journey. It started with a friendly message from another member inviting a newbie to a meet for his first night out in the woods. Not having any kit was not a problem as he...

Thanks Steve. I surprise myself sometimes :-)

Really makes me wish I was better at knapping. Lovely items.

Hoping to visit on the Saturday.

Those are lovely items. The spear point is on my to do list to have a go at making.

I often will scribe the bone before breaking, I did that for the longer needle. I actually ended breaking two bones, if it didnt get any good bits this post would have been about some gauge hooks :-) I have cheated once and used a Dremel to cut antler, it stunk so much I went back to using...

I do enjoy mixing things up on a daily basis. Love to keep myself busy with one thing or another. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

During the first lockdown I was made redundant, it was the best gift of time ever to work on skills. I have a two days left of a 10 days isolation... So more time to work crafting. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I was just holding the first bark container I made and considering re-doing the binding... but I kind of want to leave it to so I can see how I have progressed. I have not seen that style of sheath before, I will have to give it a go some time.

Thanks Toddy. So glad it came off cleanly. It's make a nice size container. I made a other from a smaller branch but used some braided Elm bark to bind it together. Really enjoy making these containers and always on the look out for more bark to play with. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk
