Consider the shape of the knife: Swell End, Barehead (fortunately) Some Jigged Bone will suit better than others......:eek: You've ruled out Smooth Bone - the Barehead's Beau:cool: - very myopic. One type of jigging that would look notable on this pattern would be a type of Winterbottom. GEC did a 48 in green Tractor bone that was like it and a rare 15 stainless in it, the colours would be different but I feel it would work very well. Other types, not so much, 'tread' carefully:D And must all jigged knives be brown or orangeish??;);) This one should be different.

So to Wood. Undeniably, it's at home on a Barehead, hosts a shield well or lives nicely without it . Woods with grain or lustre add a lot, but some can look bleak and dull, then there's Driftwood...:D:D Or Wormwood...:cool:
 
Man the numbers are tight! Either option is great IMO between the two front runners, so I'm not too worried about the outcome.

Excited to see where this goes!
 
I am fortunate in that both would be great for me- just a slight edge for the wood. I might have been swayed to the jigged side if we knew up front the color and pattern of the bone...
 
Smooth deep woods green would have been awesome. So much depends on what exactly is being proposed!

My preferences are in order:

1 Jobillo/Walnut/Oak
2 Sawcut callico bone
3 Smooth Green bone
4 Ebony

But how do these preferences fit within this poll? All would be fantastic options. I hope one wins.
 
Ebony vs Chestnut vs Rosewood

The prosecution rests its case.

Sometimes I wonder how a poll like this would turn out if we couldn't see the current numbers - and possibly if we couldn't comment.

I'm not saying that's what we should do, just saying I'd like to see what folks really wanted.
 
Appaloosa and callico bone are very similar. Callico has a bit more yellow to it. Its gorgeous.

Nice photos - but sorry I missed your opening - so please, are you favoring one of the 3 over the other or are you just a solid wood voter? I like the wormy chestnut - kind of pre-jigged ;)

But that's not fun for the folks changing their votes back and forth to keep it even
