A while back I made a Hallstatt salt-pack, I've just been able to see some much better pictures recently and noticed some extra details I hadn't seen before.

It's crying out to be turned into a backpack, but I shall resist practicality and keep it as a salt-pack

And a few extra shots !

Knife sheath for a friend, with instructions to include brown and oak leaves and for the knife to be secure enough to not fall out. To avoid having to use straps and fasteners I've lined it with calfskin which grips the blade really well and also gives a luxurious feel

The sunlight is just at the right level that I couldn't help myself but offer you a glimpse of some detail on a seax sheath that's in progress. Each circle is slightly over 4cm

Spending today in Cardiff at the Norwegian church, doing a living history event to demonstrate and discuss viking crafts, happy as a pig in muck because I can spend ages talking about my work without people's eyes glazing over! I was going to see up a scabbard but just found out that I left my awl at home....arse...

Some progress on a couple of sheaths, one for a small seax using a 12thC Dublin find in oak-tan, and the other for a modern knife with a request for brown and oak leaves - sorted! Still some work to do on that one though
