Beautiful work! A stacked handle is on my wish list of things I want to do.

Beautiful ladle! Good job.

Nice selection of different styles of spoons. Good job!

Today I finished making this rustic stool. Rustic stool by Alan Muddypaws, on Flickr Rustic stool 2 by Alan Muddypaws, on Flickr The legs are ash - these I turned on the pole lathe some time ago, when I had some straight grained logs, with a view to making a stool one day. I was hoping to get...

Excellent! Very manly knitting. Looks to be a very useful bag.

Salivating all over my tablet here! Looks delicious.

I've never made it myself, but I do have a recipe, from Roger Phillips' Wild Food book. I have made other wine recipes from the same book, which turned out OK. Ingredients. 4.5 litres / 1 gal young fresh oak leaves (I assume this means loosely collected, not hard packed) 4.5 litres / 1 gal...

Bushcraft Haute Cuisine! Looks delicious.

Roger Phillips in his book "Wild Food" makes noyau with gin. When I make it I use young beech leaves that have just burst from the bud, and still have the really vibrant green colour. Richard Mabey in "Food for Free" also uses gin. His recipe calls for the young leaves to be packed down in a...

Flippin' heck that's good! She must be a very talented lady.

I've finally got around to some tool restoration, as I bought this tenon saw that was in need of a little TLC. I wasn't in any kind of hurry as I do have several other tenon saws. Tenonsaw1 by Alan Muddypaws, on Flickr The blade had some rust patches, which have left it quite pitted in places...

Nice work! Bandsaw rough cutting of the blanks I approve of, I never realized just how handy a bandsaw could be until I got one!

Very smart sir! You set the standard for home-made bushcraft attire that others can only aspire to.

Not scruffy at all! Very tidy job, and if it works well for you then that is all good.

Superb! Wood ought to be buoyant enough, but there is no guarantee that the duck will float upright, unless some ballast weight is added underneath.

Looking great! My horse is made from softwood CLS, and it does make moving it around an easier task, as it is considerably lighter than the hardwood one that I used to have.

Thanks guys! That certainly is a lot of good information to chew on. Stew - excellent link, bookmarked. Thank you. Kepis - that knife is stunning! If mine turns out only half as good then I'll be happy. Thanks again to all.

I recently got myself a Lauri blade blank, quite a small one, only 63mm blade, and I fancy having a go at a stacked leather handle for it. So I thought I would come on my favourite forum to ask for some advice, as follows: 1. What leather to use. I have plenty of veg tan - will this be...

That looks excellent! The stitching is lovely and neat, and the tooling looks more complicated than anything I have done or would be likely to do.

Paul Sellers has got to be one of the best woodworking channels on YouTube. I made one of those oilers a while back. I couldn't quite believe how much easier a quick swipe of oil can make sawing and planing.
