Hey boys and girls,
you just had to check out what this post was about didn't you
Feast your eyes on some good old use 'm and abuse 'm sebenza pics.
Just did a weekend in the woods following a woodcarving course for the fun of it. Had a good weekend, with a teacher who learned from a sami in Sweden. Now, you can't tell that by looking at the next pictures, so be warned!
The sebenza you see here is pimped by Peter R with a rescue orange flamed g10 scale, but this was after I got home. It's awesome!! I'll post pictures of this in about two weeks as I'm off to do some hiking in scotland first.
first, I cut down this tree with my small classic sebenza
(nah, it was a pullsaw..)
then, when the tree tried to run away, it flew after it and stabbed it, pinning it to the ground
(the piece that later became a spoon)
this was to be made into my shaving bowl. It became a bowl after I failed in creating a cup from it
my spot.
the result:
three more or less usable spoons
a shaving bowl
a hamburger flipper (not on the pic)
truth be told, the sebenza was not really very good for this specific kind of carving. It was good for wood removal, taking long slices of wood away. But for finer work I used an $11 mora knife. The scandi grind of the mora is excellent for this kind of work. Believe me, I tried to make it work
but there's a knife for every occasion and this just wasn't the sebenza's moment of glory.
Nevertheless, it served it's purpose again and besides using it for the crude work for the different things I made, I also made a whistle with it from a 'lijsterbes'( don't know the english word for it).
