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 suitable for hard-bolied egg :) Well... Good for my liver, and not that good for my cholesterol :D

Birch kuksa.. Perhaps not a typical one (long handle, and bit unusual shape), but as you can see, another one, more traditional is comming :)

Leuku and pukko (lauri blades). Still WIP. The sheaths are not finished yet. Once I'm done, I will post more "glamoure" pics.

Small (but very handy) nessmuk knife (blade forged by Polish knifemaker Krzysztof Siodla "Kroko")

This knife, is a first part of my northern trapper gear set. Canvas backpack, ulu knife, whittling knife, and so on, until I get fed up with this :-D Who knows? Perhaps this nessmuk will be the first, and last element of this set :D

And finally some "petty" projects:
Scandi-mod of LIDL diamond sharpener :-D

Well. This looks, like I'm not doing anything for a living, but my DIY projects only (not mentioning spending some time with family, and in the woods). Honestly speaking, this is summary of past several months. Besides knives are rather WIP status, since I'm not in the mood recently to do leather-working and finally make some homes for those sharp babies :)

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 trek in the Carpathians, and wanted to have this baby finished. I'm hoping to carve one more in few weeks again.
