I have a few sheaths which have been needing repla I have a few sheaths which have been needing replacing for a while now so great to take a leaf from @woodtools and try this fireman's hose and save it from landfill. 

 It is really difficult to get a clear answer from companies whether their leather has been sourced as a by-product of the meat industry or if it is co-product (leather has equal value to the meat) or in some cases of high quality leather the animal has been reared mainly for its skin. Great if it is a by-product but if not then I'm not willing to support the latter. It feels good to prevent something that would otherwise goto Landfill though..plus I think they look cool 🚒 🔥

Took these copper mountain painted cups on a littl Took these copper mountain painted cups on a little photoshoot whilst doing some hills...I like the idea that they have come from the forest and seen some Scottish mountains before they go to their new owners

A wire edge??? The term used in sharpening to desc A wire edge??? The term used in sharpening to describe a thin wire or foil-like piece of flexible metal at the apex of the tool. 

It indicated you have met both bevels during the sharpening process and is a good sign you are doing things right.

You can just see this with the naked eye. It will easily move when touches as though it were a bit of aluminum foil.

This wire edge is then removed through honing and polishing to leave a razor sharp edge

Tree planting 🌳🌳🌳 I believe Greenwood w Tree planting 🌳🌳🌳 

I believe Greenwood working to be one of the most sustainable and gentle practices of removing and working with trees, it still feels amazing to have spent this winter planting 

Thanks @treesforlifeuk for the beautiful trees and and @rspb.abernethy for the work
