My Bushcraft Projects

[fjefman]

With all the rain we've had recently I've had plenty of time to work on a few projects. Here are some of my spoons, spatulas, axe sheath, wych elm bark ready to be dunked in the river for cordage and elm stave for future pow. Still need to oil the cutlery and get some pics of my new hand made bowsaw. I'll also post a start to finish selection of the large spoon as soon as I finish it.

I can't figure out how to post pics here (and link describing the process?) so I put them online. You will have to copy and past the link above into your web browser.

Good stuff mate

You should do a step-by-step talkthrough here on that axe sheath when you figure out how to get the pictures up.

Thanks for the comments. Funny you mention the fork.. it is my least favorite. First time I carved one and never really looked at the shape before. I feel this one looks like a four prong Neptune's trident, not a fork. I was just handed a few chunks of apple tree so when that seasons up a bit I'll carve some stuff out of it.

For the shealth I stared at the pic of the "30 minute axe mask" that was posted a few weeks ago (sorry, can't remember the maker). Mine took about 90 minutes but was really easy. It is made from brown dyed cowhide. Got a bit piece of it last time I was in the states. Wanted to try my hand at a knife sheath but after making this I realize I need better tools..and some thread. Will give it a go as soon as I scroung up those bits. Also, maybe this weekend I'll put together a brief tutorial on the axe sheath and on the larger spoon.. have pics of that from the very beginning.
