Whittling away the hours
« on: September 11, 2011 »

New knife ,a seasoned beech log and crap weather for kayaking resulted in my first attempt at a wood spirit

Only managed to stab myself once

Very nice, you should carve something similar into one of the kayak oars.

Great job. I've had a hook knife for making spoons rattling around the house for years but it's yet to be brought out in anger.

Very nice!  There's a guy on the bushcraftuk forums who does a lot of these and shows you how to do it:
