Seven months since the last post so I thought I sh Seven months since the last post so I thought I should show proof of life. I’ll do a few posts of some interesting things I’ve made in that time. First up are some of the horn & pewter chop sticks from an order for a good client in Sydney.
One of a few pewter bowls I spun some years ago, t One of a few pewter bowls I spun some years ago, this one sat waiting for inspiration. I’m not certain what it’ll be used for but it’s handle/stand is nicely balanced. To quote an old friend “In brief moments of illumination, inspiration comes”. This one is going to @losttrades in Bendigo but I do have another horn from the same ram.

Congratulations to my number 1 Horn suppliers Mich Congratulations to my number 1 Horn suppliers Michael and Olivia on your wedding yesterday. Such a shame I couldn’t be with you to celebrate but we are wishing you all the best for your future adventures.
We didn’t find a lot of horn work in Switzerland We didn’t find a lot of horn work in Switzerland but stumbled on a few incredible craftsmen. First up is Abelbert Fascer who makes traditional Swiss leather apparel but also does repairs to all manner of ancient things, swords scabbards crossbows etc etc etc almost entirely with hand tools as they were made centuries ago. Two things of any type requiring power in the whole place and one was a radio. The stick thing is a backpack that I suspect is made of Hazel as was Otzi the ice mans. Next was a bloke preserving the art of making cow bells, these things really chime. Lastly a lady casting pewter ornaments in a three story building with different craftsmen on each floor, all teaching and working on their craft.
Bit of a surprise finding drinking horns in a Nord Bit of a surprise finding drinking horns in a Nordic Museum. First four photos are cattle horn, fifth is carved Rhino horn about 500mm high, 6 & 7 are scrimshawed bone the last wooden spoons.
