When a tree falls in the woods it definitely makes a noise, when the tree falls because of people foolishly harvesting birch bark from live trees to make containers there is only one TV personality to blame, it's time for a tongue in cheek Ray Mears rant recorded in the minutes just after a 70ft...

I let slip in another thread the other day whilst admiring forginhill's spoonage that i was torturing my hands and blades by carving some seasoned hardwood, well it was a piece of ethically sourced slow seasoned Pink Ivory, i've had it for over 2 years with both ends waxed to help it dry evenly...

Last week I found a curtain track in a dumpster and quickly noticed it was made from a thick strip of bamboo so thick the 1 inch wide 1/4 inch thick strip was almost flat, I joked to myself on my way past that I bet you could make a bow to shoot arrows out of that, when I came back home it was...
