    Axe Handle Replacement

    It's been a while since I've done any craft work but I finished off a project that I started last year and thought I'd share it! The head needs a bit of cleaning up again as it's been sitting in the shed for a year or so since I cleaned it up. I believe going by the markings that it might have...

    My first full tang

    Just finished this. It's a Mora Scandvik blade with cherry wood scales rubbed with boiled linseed oil. It's not quite perfect, there were a couple of slight gaps where the pins are but as a first try I think it's come out ok :)

    Spoon knife - other than mora?

    Hi everyone, I know it's been covered before but I couldn't find a definitive answer! I'm after a good all-rounder spoon knife but seeing as how it's my first one I don't really want to pay through the roof for it. I've heard a lot of poor reviews about the mora spoon knives so I'm looking...

    Chopsticks!

    Ok, I know it's nothing special but I thought I'd share it anyway. Was whittling down a couple of sticks earlier and found the grain of the wood looked quite nice so thought 'what could I make from this..." So here they are, not particularly straight pieces of wood but I quite like it, has...

    Axe Sheath

    While my knife sheath is drying I thought I'd try making an axe sheath for my new axe - a Fiskars hatchet. Got it just for doing a few bits around the garden so didn't really need a Gransfors! I started with a paper cutout to get the size about right: And then marked it onto the...

    My First Sheath

    I made my first knife a while back now but never got around to making a sheath for it – mainly because I misplaced the leather that came with the kit >< Anyway, I got some leather for a very reasonable price from a kind member on here and gave it a go! I had a look at a guide on britishblades...

    My First Cordage

    Hi everyone, I know it's not much but I haven't made any cordage before so thought I'd share it! The poor yucca plant in the garden didn't take well to the harsh winter and snow and looked pretty sorry for itself so by order of the boss I cut it down. Poor thing. Anyway I thought I...

    Where to get leather?

    Hi everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster! I've always had an interest in bushcraft since I was young, watching the old Ray Mears programs and reading on forums like this :) I made a knife from one of the kits that you can get, thought it would be a nice place to start. Anyway, I made...
