I was admiring some of the museum photo's on one of Waylands threads, and I fancy having a go at making a sami inspired salt bottle... I have seen them for sale for silly money (made from birch with a curly birch inlay). And as I just been lucky enough to get some seasoned length's of Birch, I thought I would have a try!
Problem is... I can't work out if they are simply drilled out from the bottom, Or are they cut in two then hollowed out??
I cant believe the one in waylands photo has been made using a machine drill!
I know it's a long shot, but I'm hoping maybe some of our Scandinavian guy's may have handled/or own one!
If they are spliced in two, then hollowed.. How the hell did they do it with only simple hand tools back in the day??
Any help appreciated!!
