We’re excited to share that our marine team, and historic timber specialists @Dendrochronicle, have received funding from @histenvscot that will enable us to continue investigating the #SandayShipwreck found on the shores of #Orkney. ⚓️🧐

Excited to have received these LBA tools made by Bronze Age metal smith @neil_burridge. The axe heads are based on an example from the Kalemouth hoard, Roxburgh @NtlMuseumsScot. These high quality replicas will be vital for my experiments. I can't wait to use them!

A lovely project at the moment, these are the first many socket axes to be used for coppicing over the winter and other projects . This is quite exciting for me, my tools in the hands of the amazing green wood worker Hamish Darrah. The axe originally from Kalemouth

@artefactual_KW Thanks so much!
Regrettably it looks like I can't edit the alt text now. I'll make sure to do it going forward though.

@neil_burridge @ArchAncHistLeic @mgknight24 Thank you. That's very generous of you, I would love that. I'll be in touch very soon!
English
@HamishDarrah @ArchAncHistLeic @mgknight24 though it was mine but did not want to ask, your welcome here to my workshop if you plan to develop it more

@HamishDarrah @ScottishCrannog so it was you who did the mad max dome

@mikey_bam Cheers Mike! It's been great fun putting them to use!

@neil_burridge @ArchAncHistLeic Thank you! The Type Welby axe I've been primarily using is one made by yourself, passed on by @mgknight24 :) I've been very impressed with it's quality.

@ArchAncHistLeic nice work first time i have seen hedging done with bronze

Delighted to see the progress with this project. I was involved with the rescue and dendro sub-sampling of the wreck earlier this year. @Dendrochronicle @wessexarch #Orkney

Archaeology is all around you in #Orkney 🤯 A winter storm uncovered this ancient shipwreck on the Sanday shore ⚓ After a race against time, it has been preserved so experts can discover its true origin 🧐 @OrkneyCouncil @wessexarch

Delighted to be working with @treesforlifeuk on the Wild Pine Project. This week we took samples to work out tree ages in this previously unrecorded West Highland site. One tree even had axe marks where ‘fir candle’ tapers had been taken long ago. #dendrochronology #rewilding

@Dendrochronicle @treesforlifeuk Fascinating! Definitely something to look into more!
English
@treesforlifeuk Thanks - my pleasure. There is a lot of interest in the fir candles. Could be a good subject for some experimental archaeology @HamishDarrah ?

Wild pines are cultural artifacts too!
While coring an old pine in the northwest Highlands, we found evidence of fir candles. These strips of resinous pine heartwood were used as a cheaper alternative to wax candles.
Thanks @Dendrochronicle for your expertise!

Some of us are still recovering from the great day our members had yesterday 🪓 Lots of materially-inclined conversations and collaborations coming out of it! Thanks to all involved and for @HamishDarrah for showing us the ropes… or woods! 🪵

@MaterialWorldRC It was my pleasure! It was a great day out!

@HamishDarrah @TheNWDG A lovely wee film Hamish - I really enjoyed learning about the way the woods were worked

Film newly released made with @TheNWDG about Ravensheugh Copse in East Lothian and the tradition of adventitious Coppicing and creel making in this region: youtu.be/IUPQ9uMuwsA?si…

@aron_of_boyles @tansyleemoir @TheNWDG That's expanded upon in the video. Adventitious coppicing is a type of informal/opportunistic coppicing. A creel in this context is a form of lobster pot (in the picture I tweeted). Hope this helps.

@HamishDarrah @tansyleemoir @TheNWDG I have no idea what adventitious coppicing and creel making means.

@BordersForest @tweed_forum @HeritageFundUK It was a great day and a very lovely class of folk to teach. Thank you so much for inviting me!

On Sunday we marked the last rural workshop of the year at Corehead by hosting green woodworker @HamishDarrah, who ran a fantastic spoon carving workshop for volunteers.
Thanks to #destinationtweed, @tweed_forum and @HeritageFundUK for part funding which made this possible.
