Blackball 2

I used half a ping pong ball as a mould, some black crayons as dye and candle wax as the main source. First attempt failed as the wax was too hot and distorted the mounds. All very low tech - a tin can on the hob. Once I let it cool it worked fine. 

It is a display only item.

Napoleonic British Stock

This was a pretty simple job, the trimming to size was a bit nerve wracking, one slip... The clasps were purchased from McFarthingbowls in Belgium.
