Maid of Dreams

Truly a road gypsy dreamhouse.

I won’t even try to describe this big beauty. See the write up from the Bedford Rally here on the Flying Tortoise.

A Gallery of Some Past Projects

Bodhrans.

Elk leg sinews dried and ready for processing.

Design was kept as short as possible for transport. The cross bolt where the arm hinges is a salvaged bolt from an old truck spare tire holder.

Replicated woven sandals from the Southern High Plains and the greater Southwest. Produced from narrow-leaf yucca.

Flame maple neck, walnut rim.

Paleotool at Rabbitstick, Rexburg, Idaho

My personal favorite (at the moment).

My traveling bucksaw.

A little walnut oil brings out the grain.

The bench’s small size will allow it to pack easily into the truck, even holding items in the tills.

Or just click the image to get to the gallery.

Tools, clockwise from lower left: large awl, sewing awl, rivercane needle case, bone toothpick, sewing needles in center.

Mountain dulcimer.

The sacred connection.

Bodhrans.

The author with his antler-fork walking stick and his dog begging for a walk.

An overview of traveling gear. I see this format on the web a lot so I’m stealing the style from far batter photographers than I.

Argh! A moment of distraction means the snap of a stone bit!

Dopp kit and some leather working tools I use to create items like this.

Higher, more ergonomic table.

Willow pack basket I made several years ago. The straps were obviously new then.

The small rucksack with the portmanteau attached.

The holdfasts in place, holding nothing in particular.

And I added a leather thong.

The little table has many miles on it now and doesn’t look this pretty at all. I’m actually in the midst of refinishing it and will post pictures sometime soon.

Low-resolution selfie from a morning hike.

My Portmanteau. 18th Century style, it has become my favorite overnight bag.

Treadle lathe turned bowl and plate made by Mick Robins in spaleted alder (I think). The spoon is Osage orange carved by me.

Taking a break.
