trappers hat 2

a friend gave me some fur,but im not sure of the animal type?any ideas?

ladle

i made a small ladle today from a piece of beechwood,ive never use this wood before...
i usually laugh at spoon carvnig spoonies,but i did actually need a ladle,it wont be displayed on my personal ego stand,it will be getting dirty and left in my kit...

i now can experiment with wood pucks,fommes fungi,and charred cat tails,old mans beard,fire weeed. and lots more....yippeee...im also lucky as flint seems to grow wild where i live so i dont have to carry it around with me lol...

re re handled axe.

i rehandled my axe today,as it was to loose after a throwing competition.

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..

finished walking stick
