Another few months has passed :D, during which I had a hell of the work at the office. Back then I had so few days in the woods, and so little time to work on my DIY projects. Any way. Things got better in September, and I had some time to finish two of my WIP's. Elderberry spoon. Boiled in the...

OK. Few months have passed, and I have to admit, that not too much of the time I had for my projects. But I managed to finish some miscellaneous items: Miniature kuksa. Too small for a cup of tea, but large enough for a shot of good scotch :D Carved out of birch burl. After several months of...

Exactly! Drill holes, and file... Don't rush. You need set of needle files. Perhabs this will help.. https://picasaweb.google.com/115893634537782695710/DIY#5542030823969799794

Another spork just finished. This time carved out of damson wood. Fork part, same as in previous spork, is made of horn as well. More photos, you will find here: https://picasaweb.google.com/115893634537782695710/DUbanina#

Forks, bushcraft jewelry, combs... Shoe spoons? This suppose to be a soup spoon, but.. well... my dear wife, decided that it will serve better as a shoes spoon in her wardrobe :confused:

Hi merygold85. The sheath is made from birch bark. I found few photos from my diy log: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sq_8VJIdubM/TORV8fnUTnI/AAAAAAAAKIM/C15w-tSII74/s1152/DSC04000.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-uk49gcwtDg4/TORWCNSkVaI/AAAAAAAAKIM/VeOOBP-fs44/s1152/DSC04003.JPG I...

Another kuksa finished. Again... far from perfection. Or at least from what I was intending to achieve. The biggest flaw, is the oval hole in the antler. Result of accident during the drilling. Should have taken second attempt, but I was racing with the time. In two days I'm heading for 4 days...

Update: This one is finished. Another kuksa in progress: And one more :D .. part of my car rear-view mirror rattle :-)

Just on time southey:-). Thanks mate!

Hi All! As described in the topic. Few knivemaking projects, DIY, and some primitive skills "boredome killers" :-) Birch spatula and spoon set for my waningan (waningan is still WIP :-) ) "Stand-still" spoon :-). Birch as well This suppose to be a snifter, but size is more...

Gosh! How come, I missed notification about your message? I have no idea. I'm sorry for late reply. Seems that ground mail from Havana would arrive faster, then my reply. Things are fine with me. Been busy lately with few DIY projects, and participated in few Reconnect gatherings. I'm stucked...

Hi all I have seen one of those, use by friends of mine from kanu.com.pl. Decided to make a set for myself, to protect paddles blades during storage and transportation. Not a fancy job. I used raw cheap leather, and oiled it with linseed oil. I hope, you like it BTW: before, I started...

Hi all! Wooden frame canvas pack. I'm not really happy with the frame as such. Current weight is 900grams. I have the backpack pattern almost finished (cardboard model presented), but still the top flap need to be designed. That is my ultimate goal, but I'm applying several...

Hi Two Socks Some time ago, I made few photos during harvesting birch bark from the fallen trunk. I hope this will help. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-IDb0oBWT0oI/TOlSI3bJRkI/AAAAAAAAKPM/QQHULNkbEes/s912/DSC04039.JPG...

Chaps! Thank you all for help. I need to treat my ropes before the extended weekend in Poland begins - 23rd June is Corpus Christi, so half of the nation takes 24th as day off. I will be canoeing with my family, and would like to have ropes waterproofed by then. Therefore option with tar must...

Got it Ged. I'll try to produce some tar from birch bark. This I hope will do... I do want to use the hemp rope, because my canoe is really traditional, and my goal is to keep it like that :-) Sure, the sisal, cotton, and of course synthetic ropes would be better and more robust, but would they...

Hi everyone! I have just finished whipping the ends and braiding loops on two hemp hawsers for my canoe. I'm not really sure, if braiding went well, since those were my first two loops I ever braided (till now I have just tied the loops regular way). Now my goal now is to make both hawsers...

Good Luck Two Socks! Here is another photo, showing seams: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TBf0KrLeScY/TObTOUMgOFI/AAAAAAAAKLE/BqmoaBg881c/s912/DSC04009.JPG And on this one, you can see the spacer...

Cheers! I'm not sure, if this one will help. In below project, the sheath was made from the birch bark, but spacer from thick hide. Besides the cleaning, sanding with fine sandpaper, and de-greasing (I started with glueing, than sew with leather cord) I had not treated the birch bark with...
