Morning All
Just had a wee potter about whilst Jake sleeps off some of his nasty cold.
ages back I received some deer bones from shambling shaman and finally got around to using one for something
I've always like the Saami sewing kits you see but i cant afford to buy one myself so a little bit of saw work and some aggressive sandpapering got me the bone sized and nicely polished to a decent smoothness.
A scrap off cut of leather and piece of leather thong make up the needle holder, in there is one glovers needle and two saddlers needles.
The Brass shotgun base came from Bare Thrills i punched the firing pin out which allows me to thread the thong through it to pull the needle holding leather into the cavity of the bone. the Brass can also act as a thimble for tougher pieces of sewing.
Finally i was lucky enough to be sent a small Awl made by Everything Mac which fits nicely through the hole in the base's hole and is secured by the thong.
finally i wrapped an obscene amount of artificial Sinew around the outside, i will split this down as and when required
Apologies for the naff pics i used my phone as i cant find my camera at the moment.
and the contents on display
now i need to practice my scrimshaw and decide on a design
