Falconry
Equipment
By: Brian Kimsey & Jim Hodge
The
title of this book Falconry Equipment, says it all. You can
make virtually anything you might need for falconry, with the
information you gain from reading this book .
| "A
wealth of necessary information dwells in this well-written
how-to-make-it book on equipment. Upholds the notion that one
should fully understand the form and function of all equipment and
be able to craft as much as possible oneself."
(publisher) |
The
description couldn't be more accurate. Part of the charm of this
volume is its lessons that will definitely bring novice and advanced
falconer "closer" to the sport by "crafting" the
equipment yourself.
Well
organized and easy to read, the vocabulary of this book is understandable
and clear with a ton of illustrations, leaving the reader with no doubt as
to how any given project should be executed.
Chapters
are laid out discussing - the mews, weathering areas, perches,
jesses/leashes/swivels, hoods, bells, name tags, lures, bags and vests,
traveling, telemetry and misc. All very straight-forward and self-explanatory,
Falconry Equipment is a must-have for any falconer.
What makes
a book like this one so unique, is the personality it gives off, in an
otherwise sterile world of machine manufacturing, factories, concrete and
steel. It lends an air of small town/community. It takes the
craft back to a time when items for the sport were made with care,
precision and imbibed with the personal touch of the craftsman.
This book
represents the ultimate way to make the sport of Falconry truly yours.
