bits and pieces







I made a rabbits foot key ring,the foot is inserted into a roe deer antler,i used my recently made pine glue to stick it in,its holding well,i would think being a natural product it adhered well with the antler and bone...
I made a video of the birch tree showing razor strop and birch tree uses..
Ive managed to pick up a well established route that roe deer use,ive been successful in following some tracks,but i havent got enough time yet to persue them further,i must dedicate a day to this in the future...heres a video with me following the slots ..enjoy the music..
