i'm waiting on a knife to arrive from a member on bb, who is sending me hi bowi, to have some new clothes put on her, ill post some pics when i have done.
he has had the knife for some years, and i'm looking forward to doing her some justice, it will be a fifferent sheath to what normally is made ie pan cake sheath, so i'm really looking forward to doing it.

I am trying to get a leather sewing machine so I can start stitching my leather back pack, so far nearly ten years in design...Waiting on finances...Maybe by summers end...
Starting two, perhaps three new sheaths this week.
Making up, probably two antler bearing block key-rings.
And I might get my archos super tough case finished...

 

[John Fenna]

Ye gods - I have no projects on the go!
Except
I have some Ash seasoning for a canoe paddle
and
Some fabric waiting to become a windproof smock
and
A Jerrycan awaiting being turned into a fire box
and
A couple of knives awaiting new handles and leather
and
Some leather waiting to become more pouches....
I just finished making - some antler buckles, an antler buckled and tipped leather belt (semi Viking in style), an oak handled Mora bladed knife, some soft leather pouches and a new spoon (still playing with my Dave Budd spoon knife).
I am suddenly inundated with work (the Mencap house I do relief work for just lost their manager and one other staff member and another fell off her horse and is off work for a week - lots of cover work available!) so much so that I am having to turn some canoe coaching work down!
Ah well.....

 

[Hoodoo]

I love the walrus!

Paul sez thanks.

 

[Puchal]

Well... this is something I should be ashamed of. I started to work on this Leuku in January... since then not too much was done. This weekend, I plan to get back to work on this project.
It still needs plenty of sanding, oiling, waxing, perhaps some varnish. Probably by the time sheath will be finished, we will all prepare for Christmas
