A new job in my shop, I'm making a case for a birch bark lure from Naturinstrumenter.no  going to Sunnmørsmuseet. Doing some box joint by hand, but I do not practise this enough! I will advise everyone to practise the different woodworking skills as much a possible, it takes practise... An update from the project in photos. Please comment or if you have any questions feel free to contact me! Finished job, all birch, inside and out! The instrument itself, birch lure.  Oiling with Finishing oil    Getting somewhere!   fitting the lure  lining the lid with wool baze usually used on sneaker tables! Gluing an instrument or gun case is hectic! The start: The humble start of a new project. Sawing and planeing on a jointer to get the material as I want it.  Laying out for measurement    using tape to have something to lay my tools against for more excact cutting. It also prevent scars on my ...

 This instrument case is made from birch plywood and is a light but strong case. The logo is printet with a technique for transfering print to wood siimilar to THIS description. I have never tried it before so I was very qurious of how it would turn out. I managed to get it look a little "old" or "worn", and that suited the customer well I hope. The instrument is made by Magnar Storbækken at Naturinstrumenter . I just used Liberon Black Bison wax. Added extra side thickness to better fit the hinges and to make a more sturdy look and feel to the instrument case.

My most resent build is an instrument case for Norwegian traditional instruments "birch bark lure" and "horn" (billy goat), made by Magnar Storbækken at Naturinstrumenter.  This was a fun project for a customer from western Norway. A huge challenge was the fact that I didn't have the instruments, but a measured drawing of them made by the customer. This made it difficult and quite challenging, but luckily they all fitted! It is made from birch and stained with Liberon spirit wood dye. Then 3 coats of Finishing oil. Photo by customer, all parts fitted! Handle and lock. Finished. Workshop.  Templates of the instruments  

A few months ago I was asked to make a instrument case for a very nice Spanish guy, that had purchased a Goat horn flute from Magnar Storbækken. I finnished it with room for his flute parts in the lid. It was not easy to do since I didn't have the actual parts, but he replayed that they were a match to the case. This is made out of plywood(birch) with Antique wax(dark oak). the Runes are from Håvamål, verse 76: Døyr fe; døyr frendar; døyr sjølv det same. Men ordet om deg aldri døyr vinn du eit gjetord gjævt. Thanks. Finnished and ready for Spain This is not the flute parts that he was going to use, just a trial of Magnar S. I think.
