I like to make wooden buttons. They are a good seller at craft fairs, and look good on my hand knits. I've used them on handmade bushcraft gear too, such as my wool shirt and leather pouch. Very easy to do. All you need is a fretsaw and a hand drill. Some sandpaper, and sometimes I'll beeswax them, or wood varnish them.
A nice easy project that even kids can do.
I made a cute broach for a pal by painting a design on a little slab of branchwood I'd cut at an angle, and araldited a broach back on.
I've also made runes. I used a soldering iron to burn the symbols onto the wood.
I also had an idea to make a draughts set, but haven't got round to that yet. I planned to make the board out of felt squares, so it could be rolled up and all kept in a small bag. Or perhaps a noughts and crosses set. Ideal for tent bound days ..as long as you have a pal with you.
