  • Mary Ostler – Wood Butchery and Other Stuff Nice site of quality SCA woodwork
  • Medieval Colours Experiments in medieval painting techniques and the paint components.

  • The Traditional Crafts Blog
  • The Villiage Carpenter A woodworker with a great approach to hand tools. If I had half this level of skill with timber, I’d be happy.
