There´s a lot of stuff going on these days, and I find little time to forge or make anything for myself... but still I fit in whatever I can, when I can. This is the knife from the last post. I reworked the carving a tiny bit and tried out something new.
The carving has been stained in a coffee/tea/onion peels concoction and dyed in dragonblood varnish. the white area had been coated in beeswax beforehand and was polished afterwards. So far I am content with the outcome, even if there´s still alot of polishing to be done. I´ll keep you posted! ;-) I threaten! ;-)
Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.
