Last weekend I made a hard leather case for my EKA Super Swede folding knife.
I had three small scrap pieces of leather that I use to make knife sheaths and had to sew them together to make enough leather. It was dark when I made this so the stitching isn’t so good quality.
I have bought another car and I hoping this one will be problem free (for a while at least). Its a Subaru Legacy, 4 wheel drive.
and finally a couple of pictures of a Siberian Jay that I took today.
Our baby is due this week and the doctor has decided that Teres will have a Caesarean section on Wednesday, so I will have both her and the baby to look after for at least a couple of weeks.
I realised that I have not written a tutorial on how to make Cattail Dolls, so this is something I will be working on for when I return.
As part of my new job, I have to make items to sell to tourists here in Nattavaara. Just now I am busy working on the first of those items; Nattavaara Birch Bark containers.
I have used sinew to sew the containers and have burned “Nattavaara” into the bark.
While making a container I cut my finger. I did not have any plasters so I took a piece of scrap birch bark and cut a slit into it
Then I wrapped the bark around my finger and pushed the narrow end of the bark through the slit to hold it in place.
