I haven't been posting up so much as just moved house this weekend over to a farm near Dumfries, things have been hectic!
Anyway, here are just a few of the pieces I managed to get done last month
As always, my sporrans are popular so made quite a few interesting ones
This is a personal favourite. A sporran for a fella in the US Navy. We went with the original 1776 emblem for the front as it has such a nice flow, and he wanted his pistol and rifle expert badges tooled on the back.

And as well as moving at the weekend I was asked if I could skin a goat for the public and talk about the process from tanning a skin to making a finished product.But as most of you know, there is only so much you can do/show in the 10-15 minutes that you have peoples attention before they move on to the next thing. But I got a nice skin out of it i'll hopefully tan when the weather gets a bit warmer.
This was part of the Making the Most of the Moorlands project run by Langholm Initiative. The day included a guided walk along the moor with various guides, talks, music, a chainsaw carving display, my goat skinning, and ended with wild moorland food cooking with John Crouch. A cracking day all round!
