I’ve been beavering away on making stuff for the webstore. I turned over 100 awl handles on the lathe. Here is a video of that process.
I have 40 tested hand drill fire making kits ready to go. I have a few videos on making fire kits shot and edited, but want to finish all of the hand drill fire vids before I start publishing them. I also dug into my stash of hide glue and listed a few packages.
Bark tanned goat skin bracelets are pretty cool.
And then there are the apple seeds. More than ever. Some neat cross pollinations and a lot of open pollinated seed, including a few from some of my new seedlings. There is still pollen in the freezer from last year at reduced price. I’m planning to collect and list a new batch of pollen in the spring, but I won’t guarantee it will happen. Also, it is not always ready in time and not every variety I want to gather blooms enough every year to gather extra. I think they pollen from last spring will be plenty viable, but I don’t know for sure. I used some pretty old pollen last year, both from the freezer and from room temp storage for up to two years and overall seemed to have pretty good success.
