I've discovered a problem...

Ahh, the wish list...

Finish the bow I made a couple of years back (still needs a little finishing off)
More spoons
Try and make egg cups to go with the spoons
learn to turn
practice cold weather fire lighting
clear windfalls from the wood
plant some willow and hazel
get some winter hammocking in
put my new wood burner to the test
possibly some charcoaling

Granted, a lot of these will be done simultaneously, if I can get up into the woods.

Doing a cordage making demo (probably almost all Nettle) at a local wildlife reserve on Sunday.

Handling a Bernie Garland 'Little Whittler' blank at the moment.. slow going because I don't have access to power tools but mercifully found a neighbour has a pillar drill to drill out the holes for the rods and the tube Thankfully I have just finished levelling the scales on sandpaper with a block of floated glass underneath to get them absolutely flat.

Then going on to make a sheath which will be my first piece of leather work.

Got a couple of sticks to finished assuming that they have dried enough.

Then plenty of catty practice with my new Buffalo Horn hunter catty.
