Morning crafting with bark. I managed to get the willow bark off in one, it was a bit touch and go at one point due to the a few knots but it released with a bit of care. This time I had time to soak my spruce roots, and selected the straightest and most consistent length, it was a bit thicker...

This is amazing love it.

No dramas.

My wife doesnt understand why I make these things I cant use :-)

Its nice to make a change from carving a spoon. Let me know how you get on.

Thanks for giving me time to reply!

Yes please Jimp. I will PM you.

Thanks for the threads. I have been looking at some old post from time to time and its a shame the photo and links are missing/broken.

Will keep trying mate, you know how bad at doing this we are.

Thanks. The net was done in the even when the wife was on night shift and the kids in bed, so did the odd hour or so a night when I could. Sadly I cant remember how many hours I did. I will have to record the next one better.

I have Cedar and Indian Fishing love them, also lucky enough to that manoftanith has kindly lent me stone and bone for over a year :-)

Its been some time mate but I dip on from time to time.

I think the biggest issue the experts dealt with is time restraints dealing with production executives/team, it's a lot of work to get ready for for the show! The time needed to process the hides for a start, let alone making their own clothing. Then there is ever other bit of kit they would...

Great first episode I thought, nice seeing people who actually know what they are doing attempt a challenge like this. What's your thoughts?

Again lovely work John. This was my fist attempt today at making a birch bark container. I had some birch I gathered from a downed tree which although a bit scrappy was the thickest I had been able to source. On to attempt 2. ATB Tim Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I found the flint to work really well with the bone, getting a piece with a 90 degree edge hels to efficently scraps the bone down and shapes it. Using a flint using burin to gouge out before breaking off with a stone was the bit i found slow work. Making the hole was a lot faster than i...
