Good Advice

A Gallery of Some Past Projects

Taking a break.

And I added a leather thong.

Bodhrans.

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.

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.

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

Flame maple neck, walnut rim.

Bodhrans.

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

Mountain dulcimer.

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

Low-resolution selfie from a morning hike.

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

My traveling bucksaw.

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).

A little walnut oil brings out the grain.

Paleotool at Rabbitstick, Rexburg, Idaho

The small rucksack with the portmanteau attached.

Or just click the image to get to the gallery.

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.

The sacred connection.

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!

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.
