Paleotool at Rabbitstick, Rexburg, Idaho

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

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

The sacred connection.

A little walnut oil brings out the grain.

Flame maple neck, walnut rim.

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

Low-resolution selfie from a morning hike.

Mountain dulcimer.

Higher, more ergonomic table.

Bodhrans.

The small rucksack with the portmanteau attached.

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

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.

Taking a break.

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.

My traveling bucksaw.

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

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

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.

Elk leg sinews dried and ready for processing.

My personal favorite (at the moment).

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

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.

Bodhrans.

And I added a leather thong.

The holdfasts in place, holding nothing in particular.

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