Trip Out - Pics

[Kepis]

Enjoyed one of the weekly bimbles with Hugo and Jason Donovan, sorry Rockmonkey today, didnt go very far as walking goes, probably only a few miles, but still had a great laugh, lots of brews and bacon sarnies followed by a Banana pancake for lunch - yum yum yum - cheers guys, my turn to cook next week.

Pics

The trail in across the hillside, everything is starting to break into leaf - lovely

Hugo explaining something to RM, photo taken from the 'comfort' of my hammock which i took with me to try a few things out, i still dont like the DD, just cant get comfortable in it, so, im going to bite the bullet and order a Warbonnet Blackbird i think.

Hugo carving

i carved a simple woods wizard from a piece of Sycamore

Jason, sorry RM, carving a Dolphin from a piece of Ash

the Dolphin, i think it's brilliant

Another quality day out Kep my old mate!.
Have had to carve some side swim fins for dobby the dolphin, carve some holes, and slot them in!, not suprised he was struggling to swim around!
It needs sanding and staining, then i will show it with pride, I think. Only my first attempt so quite happy with it!

And thanks to you and Hugo for the alteration ideas on the knife!
And thankyou for the kind coment about the ****e pancakes (will fix that pan sticking).

Looks like a great day out fellas. What's the title of the carving book Jason's referencing?

Cheers

Hi Nutz,

The books called "The little book of whittling" by Chris Lubkemann.
Well worth the purchase!

Is that a Bac Pac traveller (B.C. Hats ) you're sporting rockmonkey ?

 

[Rockmonkey]

Yes it is!
Had it for about 10 years and love it, and it's travelled all over the world!
Bought it when "Natural world" shops closed down, about £26.00 i think instead of £38.00.
Bargain!

Hope you lot like!
