Conan the Barbarian met a Viking.......they made this hand axe cover together.

Mneedham off of BushcraftUSA sent me this beast of a clever for a bladric rig....this is what I came up with

An up date on Wayne's Trapper Pack Basket

Well Wayne got the pouches and posted some pictures of them on the basket, and how else he could use them. Like on his Frost River pack!

Pimpin Wayne's Pack Basket

Wayne Oran  got with me and wanted to add some pouches to his already kick ass Pack Basket. He gave me a general idea of how big they should be and what not. And Sent along a couple of Skog's patches and some hand forged buckles that Donk made for him as well as some beaver fur Croatoan had gifted him........these are what I came up with......(Sorry no pics on the basket, as I don't own one........yet!)

 These are made of tanned elk hide, with some deer rawhide accents and rubbed with bear fat.

Forged knife and rawhide neck sheath

With hand forged awl in the back, and small fire steel in the front. The little bundle contains vasoline soaked cottonball, just incase. Also a large sail needle tucked away in the welt. Neck lanyard is braided hemp, with deer antler toggle. 

   

   
   

   

   
   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

   

Making rawhide.

Some already know, but to those that don't I make all my own rawhide. Mostly deer, but some elk and antelope when I get a hold of the hides.

Here are the latest, since it was nice last week, and they unfroze!

And since I am making these just for sheath work, I am able to put some character in them, that bought ones dont have. I didn't scrape all the hair form the edges, so I can use them for the fronts of sheaths. And I have found that how the dye goes in, depends on how much scraping you do on the hide.

Killinger Blades Sheath and Dangler

Made this up for a fella over on BushcraftUSA, knife was made by my buddy over at Killinger Blades  this is his Pioneer model. Great little blade.


Anyway......here are the pictures.

Rawhide sheath, with a beautiful stack leather and stag knife.

Made this one up just to offer for sale, in an effort to get my work into peoples hands without a wait list. The knife came from a fellow on BushcraftUSA goes by RWfred, great work on his blades. I have another to do as well. Might have to keep that one

Again this one has a hidden ferro rod and a sail neddle.
