Finished my first English longbow, horn nocks and all. Ash back and Ipe belly. About 65# drawweight.

Sometimes you just need a nice dagger! Handle by yours truly, inspired by a Tod Cutler piece, with a blade by Fakesteel. Very happy, now I need to get some leather and make it a sheath.

Alright that was… difficult but I finished my first pair (and a half) of full hoses, as in with socks. The process almost made me cry, as the noob I am, but they turned out nicely. Will spare you the topless pictures in them

Am excited for the finished work. And I know the feeling, I have found my escape from the current world situation in my workshop, learning how to make bows

Slowly but forward. My first laminated bow. And of course my first English longbow. It has a slight compression fracture which means it will definitely not be my last one. Ash and Ipé

@maklelan.bsky.social do you have any thoughts on this video? Besides it’s complete and utter nonsense?

Handful of goodies ready for binding.
The purple shaft goes hard with these pink and white fletchings

So. Trying to learn a new craft.
Making my first proper longbow. Loosely based the shape on the Holmegaard bows, the wood is Jatoba.
Hopefully it’s not ending up as firewood.

Haven’t really logged in for an age, but here is our unit roughly 20 seconds before getting hacked to bits by a Polish halberd unit twice our size. It was incredible fun

Some times you just gotta embroider a hood.

Some times it is the simple things in life. Like listening to medieval music while you put points on your gambeson so you can attach your new and lovely jack chains, so you are ready for the big larp event at Hammershus #larp #armour #diy

Listening to the adventures of Tom Swan, while carving a new spoon is an excellent way to spent the evening.

Protip for a cheap level up of your kicking. Stinging nettle salt. Dirt cheap to make.
Stingingnettles are wonderful plants with plenty of usage, from dying cloth, to making cheese, to add a little something something to your roast meat.
They are also a wonderful substitute for blanched spinach.

The feeling when you had a bunch of audible credits saved up and can just get an entire series

Few authors manage to pull me in so fast and so completely ad @phokion.bsky.social does in his new book The Venetian Heretic.
I can’t wait to listen to it all.
The combination of Christians writing skills and Peter Noble as a narrator is simply amazing.

I now qualify as a hobbit I think.
I have whittled my first pipe! And learned how to spell whittle… here it is compared to my regular pipe… I think I did well. Willow stem and maple head

Welp found the before picture.
Whole new handle. Gave the blade a dirty polish (I need a belt sander, so badly).
Zebrano handle, polished to 600 grit. Which is of course silly.
Lovely piece with many years of service left.
And a photogenic cherry tree

Nice but of field archery today with my niece and a few others from the club. Including my best target so far. Two in the heart.
