My Neddle Work

#1 Post by woodie » Fri Oct 09, 2015 10:02 am

Hi all I have been a bit board while on holidays so I have been doing some needle work, as my wife put it.
It is a bit rough but that makes it traditional right?

Put some leather dressing, mutton fat just to keep it trad and because I thing it is the best as I have used it on my stock whips for 30 odd years.

Yea no. My grandmother tried teaching me sawing with no real luck. :lol:
I'm not that neat.
I got board around the fire at the HVTA charity shoot so I made a few lower limb string keepers so I thought I would have a go at a glove. The test will be on the weekend when I use it at the club.
But thanks for the kind words boys.
