    Hello All

    Hello folks, I'm Graeme and hail from Midlothian, Scotland. Although bushcraft as a whole interests me, my particular fondness is for making things such as carving greenwood cups, spoons and bowls plus basic leather work like belts, sheaths and tool protectors. I'm no wizard at these things for sure but I do enjoy it. I've done a bit of canoeing and camping in the past but have to take things easier nowadays due to my health. Walking my dog and pottering around the garden are my other favourite past-times as is feeding and watching the birds in the garden.

    I hope to learn more about the things I already like doing and other subjects such as wild food and at some point, I'd love to make a bow. Also, I am here for the inspiration that other peoples skills, photographs, trips out and experiences provide and hope to share a few of my own.

    A' the best.
