Kyly the Wonder Dog has been extremely bored with the cold weather. Luckily we got to spend a little time amongst the trees and sticks yesterday.

A Gallery of Some Past Projects

Bodhrans.

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

Higher, more ergonomic table.

Paleotool at Rabbitstick, Rexburg, Idaho

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

My personal favorite (at the moment).

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

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

Flame maple neck, walnut rim.

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.

Low-resolution selfie from a morning hike.

Bodhrans.

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

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.

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 sacred connection.

Elk leg sinews dried and ready for processing.

And I added a leather thong.

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

A little walnut oil brings out the grain.

Taking a break.

My traveling bucksaw.

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

The holdfasts in place, holding nothing in particular.

The small rucksack with the portmanteau attached.

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

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

Mountain dulcimer.
