The final vote was 69 Barlow 74 swayback.
There were some changes to the final vote.
See two notes in my visitor Messages which remove 2 from the swayback total and one was removed by a member in the thread.
Sub total 69 barlow 71 Swayback.
2 other members reversed their votes in the thread from Swayback to Barlow.
71 barlow 69 swayback.
Barlow wins it by a nose.
Now Steven and I will get with a few companies that would be interested in making a run for us and we will make a decision and then have a sign up list.
If you are willing to sign up at this point, let me know. All I am going to say now is that we are going to go with a natural material probably bone maybe stag or micarta.
Everyone's input has been very much appreciated, from here the companies will have a lot of input on handle material, blade steel etc. We may gather up the options and vote (all things else being about the same.) or just outright chose something if it clearly represents the best quality and value.
Once the final decision is made we will have an official sign up in hopes we can get the order in by mid June at the latest.
Sorry it took me so long to tally, been a rough week in a couple of ways, but things have worked out and I am ready to roll on this full speed ahead.
I have contacted a close friend here on BFC to act as backup just in case something should happen to me. He will have access to our funds and I will retain sole responsibility for them unless he has to take over and I do not see that happening. If he does have to take over, there will be no issues except for maybe a little cussing on his part over my grave for dumping the task on him. According to my will he would get a Bose out of the deal so he won't end up too upset.
