Hey. Made this for my lad, he's obsessed with a certain game on his switch. Spalted birch with leaf made of the birch bark.

Hey all. Made another gift for pal. This time, I tried a rather different finish on the outside. I saw some amazing kuksa's made by a chap that were otherworldly. I contacted him on the process involved and he kindly told me. This one is pretty much done apart from some more sanding. My first...

Hey all. Here's another one, a gift, carved for a friend who liked the shape of my kupilka. Decided to try a foodsafe mineral oil as a finish this time. Very pleased with the way it brings out the burls chaotic grain. Its nearly there, but for a little more sanding of a few knife marks made...

Hey chaps. I've had a holly burl for a number of years now, and got around to contemplating a kuksa shape in it. I remember reading that it was safe for a drinking vessel a while back, so proceeded to blunt my knives on it. It was a hard carve, and had to use a ball gauge on it for most of the...

Hey. Been a while since I posted here. What with one thing and another, but now I've more free time to myself I'm going to try and form some drinking vessels from these two birch burls I was fortunate to acquire. Not sure if the 'birds eye' grain will appear once shaped, but I'm hoping it does...

Hey. I've some scandi wool garments that I want to dye, namely Norwegian and Finnish army surplus, trousers and jacket. From what I've gathered so far, using a hand dye is the way to go. They'll be going from the grey, to black. Has anyone else had success with these good quality garments and...

Hey everyone. I thought I'd just post a few lines by way of explanation of my lack of interaction here. Not that I was very active anyway. I certainly have not even lurked very much as of late. The reason being, is that I'm now a very proud dad to a perfect little chap called Sebastian. Those...

Hey... I thought I'd share a very quick initial, albeit simple, as simple as can be really (eggs) tryout of a GoSunGo solar stove. I backed it on kickstarter, and recieved it a few days ago. I'm very impressed with how easy it is to use. The construction is light and robust. Took about half hour...

Hey folks. I was lucky to chance upon a birch burl recently and have been fiddling with it, on and off for a couple weeks or so. I have been taking it on my strolls, doing a bit here and there. I had no idea how it would come out, no plan on shape other than try and make it better than the...

Hey chaps and lasses. I've not posted on here for a while, though I do lurk. Just had to share this. We visited a favourite stretch of sand a couple days ago, and we had just tucked into lunch. I felt eyes on me, and glanced over my shoulder, and not 3 feet away was a fox. It took three verbal...

Hey. Thought I'd show you chaps a re-handle and sheath project. I love the skrama, it's a quality tool. Birch handle, leather and ash sheath. Not meant to be historically accurate, just me playing with some wood and leather. I am only looking to slide the knife into my pack, not to hang it...

I have this beautiful leather and canvas sack up for grabs. It was made by a wizard of these parts called Bilmo. I love the sack, it is a thing of beauty and it hurts to have to let it go so soon, before I've had a chance to make some memories. The reason it has to go is that my back rules my...

I don't get it. Someone's offering over £200.000 reward for the successful prosecution of the shooter. Fair enough, it was mindless, but the fuss just seems out of proportion. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Hey chaps. I'm looking at two way radios, anyone have any recommendations? Experience? Not looking for a huge range. Thanks Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

I was wondering if the more learned here can shed any light on the suitability of monkey puzzle wood for carving? I've been processing some firewood this morning and have a load that has spalted up. Its was left in the exact same place that I put the birch that spalted up so well. As you can...

Not sure if people know of the cheap price of these at home bargains. £1.99 for a bag of 40. Apologies if this has already been noted. I know there's another thread, but couldn't find it. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Take a look at the creations this guy conjures up. Stunning is an understatement. The video titled 'the making of wood carved rattlesnake walking cane #43' is just superb. I know, he uses a lot of power tools, but still an incredibly skilled chap. https://youtu.be/bctovovh0SE Sent from my...

This might be another source for the much loved US wool shirt/jacket. Hope it helps folks. :) http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=291669823214&alt=web Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Lots of these about today, some frisky, some not.
