As I have recently acquired a large quantity of ash, I thought I'd have a go at making bows (as you do). Not having a drawknife, and being a devout cheapskate, I made a drawknife from an old file and set to with wedges, carving axe , drawknife and spokeshave. From this: Via this: and...

Being a confirmed cheapskate, absolutely everything on this one is recycled :D (GB Wildlife for comparison/scale) The head came from the local dump, and was a block of rust with a broken handle. The poll had obviously been used to hammer on metal, and it was a toss-up as...

I finally got around to finishing this one, after it has sat in my box of bits for nearly a year... 4mm O1, scandi ground, with a full distal taper down to the point, so the blade is actually about 3.6mm thick at the ricasso and tapers down to nothing at the point.. The tang shape is inspired...

As per a previous thread in the Sharps forum, this is ready to go: 95mm scandi blade in Bohler AEB-L by Maikhel Eklund, brass, buffalo horn and fibre spacers, handle of maple burl, finished with Danish Oil and beeswax. (The first pic still shows the protective silicone grease on the...

I like it, but I prefer my Mule, so I'm passing this one on: This had 2 very small cracks in the handle when it arrived, which then closed up as it acclimatised to the UK, and have been sealed with cyanoacrylate. Bigger crack of the two is here: And overall: With original box, papers and...

As per this thread - this is up for sale :D Rose damasteel with stainless fittings and ebony scales. Sharpened by Longstrider, so this is really sharp... More photos and details on the original thread. £120 gets this RMSD'ed to your door.

A while ago, I saw an ad from Brisa for damasteel offcuts. "Aha!", I thought, and bought one. Then I thought, "How do I HT this?" :rolleyes: Fortunately, Shing put an ad in about the same time, offering to do HT with his facilities, so that solved that one. Anyway, a bit of sketching produced...

Been busy making stuff recently :rolleyes: I brought all the hatchets owned by the Scout group home to sharpen, as they were in a rather sad state. A bit of workshop time later and they were all properly convexed and polished. One didn't have a mask, and I had discovered a Kent pattern head in...

Not my first spoons - we'll draw a discreet veil over those...:o A Goldilocks set for the Management to use at school (she teaches Year 1) - Top to bottom: birch, sycamore, willow. And one in Goat Willow (no, I had never heard of it until I looked it up to identify the tree). Thanks for...
