It looks like you're doing a cracking job at your place . It's amazing how quickly Woodland regenerates . You blink and its changed. My Mrs is the main stick maker and leather worker ( she pyrographs the sticks) . I just carve the odd bowl , and make a few chopping/serving boards , and forge a viking knife(badly) when I'm in the mood. If you ever want a few , oak , rowan , Hazel, Holly, saplings . You're more than welcome to pop to my place and grab as many as you need . Im looking for someone to make me a nice stick Mel bive got a load of antlers ive been saving...is it something your goodself and the Wife could sort out for me?

She doesn't use antler dc , and I've only ever used antler on one stick , that I made as a rest for when I'm shooting. I'll start a thread rather than derail this one, and I'll post a few pics of things that we do at the woodland . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's Rowan in here, and there's more popping up since the canopy has become more open, and a couple of half decent Oak with some regeneration, I've noticed some Hawthorn appearing aswell, the following are some of what I intend to plant to create a dense edge to the ride I've been clearing Field maple Dogwood Guelder rose Wayfaring tree Elder Spindle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
