Re: Thats a few knives
Yes nuthin like stoppin(for good or bad reasons) the usual rat race and allowing ourselves to get creative.
Having a bit of fun with the two cow hides I skun and tanned. Kinda need to work with it a little differently but I'm learning. Ill take ma kit and finish a few items off whilst on the road. Found it most relaxing last xmas down by a river in the bush and lacing a bit of leather.
