It is very cool but what it really says to me is that a stout club of a native hard wood could look just about any way the carver felt it should and was as fished as his skill allowed. Thus giving this project a very open ended interpretation, as most "folk" crafting would be.

Well you know what I would have to say!

Thanks so much from the both of us we plan on spending a relaxing evening with our horses Ranger and Pippin!Got the carrots and the oats ready to go and a few treats as well. .....Goodnight and grace be to you all!

What a remarkable adventure Kortoso! I am so happy for you and I admire your courage and intrepid spirit! I salute such a gallant and adventurous brother in arms and pray the Valar guide your every step! Namarie!

Wow this all sounds so scrumptious! I am very fond of mushrooms and have collected many recipes for them over the years. I have used them in soups and stews with wild scallion and yes Barley does pair well with most mushrooms. I enjoy them fried with onions most of all. but they are also quite good ...

Excellent job Brother! I love it! Your execution of the barrel type was very strait forward and in the end produced a very functional and beautiful piece. The esthetic focus on the one I collaborated on with Caedmon was my contribution, not the original design which was drawn by Caedmon himself but ...

Welcome Ranger! Ringulf...At your service. You have few references outside this forum, but plenty within, so do your research, ask lots of questions and chime in when you see something that tickles your fancy! We enjoy works in progress and lots of pictures so don't hold back!

My thoughts exactly Elleth!

Well this was done a while ago, I am not sure if I have influenced anyone by this post, but I would like state for the record that last March at Gulf Wars I caught up with Ash and Griffon Pottery and purchased my Rune mug. I absolutely adore it and though it was no difficult decision as to what mug ...

This post must start first and foremost with an apology, Eric I searched high and low for these pictures and I remember writing the article after I took them but I don't see them here anywhere, perhaps I never hit send?...I wouldn't put it past this old Dwarf to do something scatterbrained or addlep...

I have seen some of your work too, I must say you do a very nice job of everything I have seen. No worries about its "newness" everything is new at some point. Rubbing dirt on it will prematurely make it looked used, if it is for a costume that is fine, but the best way to weather kit, is ...

Very nice work Owl. I am sure she will enjoy wearing it!

I have a little Washburn "Rover" travel guitar that I carry around... I love it because it sounds pretty good and it's got a very small body. It's easy to play in the front seat of a car on long road trips. I also play flute and sax but I have to say that I really prefer the Boehm system ...

We all hit rough spots...glad to hear you're coming through one of yours and are the better for it! Thanks, Greg, Several Rangers sent notes, you among them, several times last year, and it kept me connected and made me realize how much this group had become part of me. I missed it and now It feels...

Yes, the Live weapons group and the equestrians I hang with are very friendly and fun-loving folks. they, by nature of their personas, are the more common, even with titles. We have a good time but until now it has all been centered around weapons practice, However, I have them very excited about th...
