Good Advice

A Gallery of Some Past Projects

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.

Flame maple neck, walnut rim.

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

The holdfasts in place, holding nothing in particular.

Bodhrans.

The sacred connection.

Or just click the image to get to the gallery.

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

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

Low-resolution selfie from a morning hike.

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

Paleotool at Rabbitstick, Rexburg, Idaho

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 small rucksack with the portmanteau attached.

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

And I added a leather thong.

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

Mountain dulcimer.

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

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.

My traveling bucksaw.

Taking a break.

A little walnut oil brings out the grain.

My personal favorite (at the moment).

Elk leg sinews dried and ready for processing.

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

Higher, more ergonomic table.
