Nicola (Dr Spoon) just finished this one off, it's Birch. I roughed it out as a demo on a course last weekend.
And here is another I just roughed out in burr alder, it's drying now ready for finishing work but I think it will be nice when done.

I know that this has been asked before, but what do you put on as a sealant/coating? But those are very lovely! It makes me wish that we had birch here in San Diego!
We do not go to the green woods and crystal waters to rough it, we go to smooth it. We get it rough enough at home, in towns and cities.

Once they are nice and dry we seal ours with cold pressed linseed oil... more discussion here http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35402Originally Posted by climberslacker

they're lovely! I had a go last week at making one out of willow. I made the school girl error of not using a split piece of wood though and so the thing split as it was drying out. It wasn't a beautiful round shape like yours either, more like a miniature canoe with a wiggly tail!
I'm off camping this weekend and I'm going to get a selection of woods to give it a go, again - PROPERLY this time!!
