Bushcrafted items

ml100 · Nov 3, 2015

Let's show our bushcraft results. Spoons, cups, and so on. No professional carving, just things you made with a knife, a saw , some sanding paper and maybe some campfire. Mention the tools that you used.
I'm sure we get to see some wonderful things.

The 20 min Teddy Bear, just some drift wood I found by the river, with a SAK (Wenger Ranger) being the only tool used.

Forty + years ago I made a rope making machine/twister (two wood paddles with three hooks with one paddle having a crank for the three hooks) then with it I made this rope. Then I made this splice with that rope. Part of the Pioneering merit badge back then.

Pot hook from my last trip. Used a Victorinox Farmer and Mora Classic # 1, only tools used on the trip. Cooked mac and cheese, bacon, and eggs using this setup.

Most of my carving and so on has been done at home, I'm guessing that doesn't count in this thread?

As long as it could have been done somewhere in the outdoors as well, it's fine.

Nice cooking setup!

Hatchet handle from and old DB handle, hatchet, rasp, folding saw, sander (could have used sandpaper).

Another handle from some Osage I had laying around.

Hooks fit fun

Osage ferro rod handle, used some super glue and a drill but pitch and an awl would work as well.

That machine didn't make it out of summer camp. But here's something similar http://scoutpioneering.com/tag/making-rope/ .

That is really cool. First time I actually see pictures of someone successfully fishing with a selfmade line. What was the hook made of?

Don't actually have any items right now at the moment as I'm not home but I love the idea of this thread and we should keep it going. Went through my phone to contribute just a tad.

"ergo-grip"-spoon, birchwood, Mora knife, sanding paper and the awl of the Vic Farmer

The decoy was a joke to play on a friend of mine. We made a bunch of Duck decoys out of Cattail and I said 'Geez, next we'll be making Deer decoys'.

A year later I brought this up to him; thought he was gonna piss himself.

Don't know if he ever used it or not. The bone gorge was made out of wild turkey leg bone. the first time I used one to catch fish was in 1979 in Tenn.; Worked then too.

Just jute twine from the hardware store. I use it for a lot of woods projects. Real cheap tough enough and biodegradable.

Spear hasn't been used for fish yet. But was used by some youngens at camp for some frogs.
