Good Advice

A Gallery of Some Past Projects

Mountain dulcimer.

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

Higher, more ergonomic table.

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.

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

And I added a leather thong.

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

Flame maple neck, walnut rim.

A little walnut oil brings out the grain.

The sacred connection.

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

Bodhrans.

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.

Low-resolution selfie from a morning hike.

The small rucksack with the portmanteau attached.

Bodhrans.

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

My personal favorite (at the moment).

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.

The holdfasts in place, holding nothing in particular.

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

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

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.

Taking a break.

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

Elk leg sinews dried and ready for processing.

Paleotool at Rabbitstick, Rexburg, Idaho

My traveling bucksaw.
