Good Advice

A Gallery of Some Past Projects

Flame maple neck, walnut rim.

And I added a leather thong.

Higher, more ergonomic table.

Taking a break.

Bodhrans.

The small rucksack with the portmanteau attached.

My personal favorite (at the moment).

Or just click the image to get to the gallery.

A little walnut oil brings out the grain.

Mountain dulcimer.

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

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

My traveling bucksaw.

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

Paleotool at Rabbitstick, Rexburg, Idaho

Low-resolution selfie from a morning hike.

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

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.

The holdfasts in place, holding nothing in particular.

Bodhrans.

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

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

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

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.

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.

The sacred connection.

Elk leg sinews dried and ready for processing.
