This is a leather quiver to put arrows in. I thought it was a bit like one someone in Torak’s world may have used.

This is a leather quiver to put arrows in. I thought it was a bit like one someone in Torak’s world may have used.

I made this knife by sharpening a rock against another rock, then I tied it to a piece of wood. Then I put some brown fabric that sort of looked like leather on it.

They may have used slingshots, though I don’t know for sure. This was pretty easy to make, I just got some brown cloth and made holes in it and then tied some string to it.

This axe took a while to make because the stone kept falling out. I got the stick at the beach, and then my dad splinted it with a saw. I put the stone in and tied it with string. And don’t try to sand a rock, the smell is like burnt gasoline.

I made this by finding a slightly bent stick and tying string to it.

I made this spear by myself, I sharpened a rock and tied it to a piece of wood.

Two stone axes

Two wooden sickles and a brush with sheep hair for painting

We went for a short walk and found some stones that we thought looked sharp. We then found some plain branches to use for handles. We cut splits in the tops and tied stones into them.

I made this with my dad. #clanchampion (this is how you do it right?)

Fake leather pouch that can attach to a belt with a wooden button. I sewed it with leather cord. I like to use it as a tinder pouch.

Hand crafted obsidian and mahogany obsidian bladed knives, with silver birch hafts.

Grey slate blade; old broom handle cut to size and split for the handle and rope to bind. In the binding is a small piece of Amber as a lucky charm.

This is my favourite axe I made it by splitting a stick at the top and slotting in a flint .

This is actually my brother’s axe but I thought it deserves a place on the virtual museum . He made it by taking a piece of flint and taping it to his handle . Hope you enjoy !

Slate knife made by a reader, and given to me during a signing some years ago. Impressive!

Arrow: Torak discovers how good Renn is at archery in Wolf Brother. The arrow was used to kill a willow grouse. By ShadowSilverWolf.

Arrowhead: I went and found a rock that was about the right shape. I sharpened it a little against another rock, and tied it on with some string. By forestfred.

Bow: I made this by first finding a stick the right size. Then I cut a slit on one end and tied a string onto the other end. I made a loop in the string and attached it. The next thing I did was take off some of the bark, near the handle. By forestfred.

Spoon: *Oath Breaker spoiler* My version of the spoon that Bale made for Torak in chapter 1 of Oath Breaker. I used half a mussel shell, sea weed and sea grass. By Lone Tree.

Axe: The handle is made from hazelwood, and the blade used to be silex, but it broke and had to be replaced with a metal one. The blade has been rammed into the wood and has been secured by bits of birch tar and string. By Greyfur.

Arrow: It has a wooden shaft which I carved to make straight, I found the wood in my local woods. The feathers came from a packet brought from my local craft shop but I think they might be real but have been processed. The sinew came from a craft shop, and is used to hold on the arrows and the arrowhead. The arrow head is made from stone that I knapped. By Simloe.

Medicine pouch: This is a medicine pouch I made of felt. It has leather cord to tie it together as a drawstring that can then be tied around a belt. By wolfeygirl.

Fa’s knife: *Spoiler* In one of the later books we find out that if the binding is taken off there is a compartment containing part of the fire opal. I had to shape the blade and carve the hilt. I made a small compartment to put a yellow stone I have in which I would use as the fire opal. I wrapped the sinew and leather around the hilt as the binding. By Simloe.

Fa’s knife: In the books we learn it has a blade made of blue slate in the shape of a willow leaf and the shaft has an elk sinew binding. To make it I used a blue stone, maybe slate, that I found at my local woods, sinew from a craft shop, leather cord, and feathers that have been bought from a shop. By Simloe.

Dream catcher: This is a dream catcher I made using leather cord and string and I made the beads from clay. The feathers are shop bought but are real feathers that have been dyed and cleaned. The Dream catcher is something the Mages may have used to catch bad dreams if a person had suffered from many bad dreams. By WolfeyGirl.

Flint axe: The axe head is made out of local flint and started off as a block about 1ft. x 0.5ft. it was then shaped into a roughout by knapping it with hard quartzite hammerstones from West Runton near Cromer. The roughout was then shaped and thinned into an axe head using softer antler hammers from all over the UK (mainly Scotland). the blade was pressure flaked to achieve a sturdy and longer-lasting blade. By Flintknapper.

Flint axe: The haft was shaped using a flint adze (which will probably end up on here soonish) and drilled with a flint hand and bow drill. By Flintknapper.

Flint axe: The haft is local ash (Herts) cut with a modern saw due to coppicing guidelines and trying to reduce damage to the tree. By Flintknapper.

Knife and sheath: Finished knife in sheath. By Flintknapper.
