I've had Jon's Bushcraft website bookmarked for a long time, but something made me try two of his projects today. I made a comb for my daughter, and a berry picker for when the berries come out. Yum yum!

It's well worth taking a look at his other projects. They're fun and nicely rated from easy to hard: http://www.bushcraft.ridgeonnet.com/
Now to my results (Yew is the wood I seem to have most of in the garage, so that's what I used):
The comb for my daughter:

I think I'll snip the sharp ends off because they're not much use.
