I've been using both the waxed and non waxed flax, the non waxed i've tarred and am still waiting for it to dry , B'out 2 1/2 months now just waiting for the SUN to come out.

yes it works really well for smaller stuff and wrapping the corks on my bottles

Well to join the ranks of me fellow brethren n'sisterin on ESTY i've opened a shop at williewobble.etsy.com featuring my Wobble Wares from carved wooden spoon, netting wrapped bottles, canvas snapsack and ditty bags

Yea, what she said!

All right, starting to get excited now (or just tired) spent most of the day going through me camp stuff ,bottles, spoons and the usual things to make the weekend enjoyable

its a busy week,tuesday load the truck, pepper jelly and hot sauce for farmers market on wednesday then unload and load back up thursday for searles

so far the weather is looking good mid to upper 30s at night and mid 60s during the day but that WILL CHANGE and at night we should get the last half of the full moon

so all you folks up north get out of the snow and come on down .

another great event in sunny FLA

Mission i'm thinking you just want to see first hand the initiation ritual with mrs. santa maria the resident aurea or emu

are the story's true?

AAh, they don't eat much

Patrick ,there is usually john of st augustine textile a mighty fine suttler and a few more

the ground usually will drain off quickly if we get a fair rain but we try to setup on the higher ground and if your in a hammock you won't have to fend off the fiddler CRABs in the morning climbing up the tent walls, your right on the river

as of now its in the low 30s to high 50s just wait another week or so to get a better weather report , either way its a great event

WELCOME back Patrick

Yes this years date is fri sat Jan 22-23 for public days if your not camping but it starts today Jan 13 the past 5 years i've always gone in me garb its more fun that way , there are folks there you will know from PIP ,BOOGATOR and Doug searils buccaneers another crew from st augustine will all be camping,Meself being a business owner will have to work Friday but will be there on sat , besides if you don't go in garb you'll feel out of place

the event is billed as any period Pre-1840 and i think we fit in just fine.

look for me on saturday , the Wobble

Yep, www.floridafrontiersmen.org then go to Alafia river rendezvous

Alafia is comming up again in central florida this yearthe public days are fri sat jan 22-23 if you don't camp ,but its a GREAT event not to be missed

a lot of detail in those closeups

What the Heck!Ive tried to cut and paste and search i still can't find the New site only the old dead site where is it at ?

Flax twine from harbor freight works well and looks good on smaller needle hitching and grafting , i also use it on my small flask bottles in netting
