As it gets closer to the summer holidays, our weekly medieval days are winding down. But we still have some great projects that we’re working on.

The Duke has been sanding and staining medieval tent poles for our new Gathering Tent.

Wolf Mother and Yliana, our Finnish healer, have been sewing sturdy ties. Next week we’ll add leather tabs to the ends to make sure the holes don’t fray when the weather gets feisty.

The ties will be used to link the tent poles to medieval ropes being twisted and fashioned by our Piper, Patrick.

Next up are the wooden pegs we need to keep the Gathering Tent tethered to the ground no matter how strong the gale or heavy the rain.

We’re looking forward to finishing our latest medieval tent so we can focus on a few other important projects: medieval wooden boxes to hold supplies and a few wooden tables to assist us in cooking and washing our medieval pottery dishes.

Are you working on any creative projects this month?
