Trowel sheaths! I figured that, while I’m searching for an archaeological society in my location, I may as well be working on a way to carry my trowels in style. I’d had them rolled up in a crummy towel for quite a while, which was starting to become unacceptable. The sheaths aren’t quite finished – they’re rough around the edges and will require the application of a good belt sander and buffer, and I’m planning to stamp (or burn, to avoid having to dismantle them) my initials into each.
They’re beautiful! I know it may seem odd to some people to consider tools beautiful but they are. My husband and I have looked at websites before that offer archaeological opportunities in Utah, I believe it was. It would be nice to do “one of these days.”
Thank you, Delma!
You have to be careful about archaeological “opportunities,” though. Sometimes they’re more like travel services, where YOU pay THEM so you can go sweat in a hole all day. If that’s something you want to do, cool, but if they don’t at least offer free meals, I’d say pass.
