A-More-Durable-Yellow Handle Material Than Osage

[Mistwalker]

Okay, I love Osage, I really do. especially the first days and even weeks. But it's the yellow I love most.

The more orange it turns, the more in blends in with the earthly stuff in the background, and the less it suits my needs.

I've seen the lemon drop G10 new on the website, and I love it. But I don't know how long it stays actually yellow with use and I prefer the abrasion resistance of micarta over G10.

And With Canary Yellow, I don't know how long it stays actually yellow. I mean I don't mind washing something in detergent and water to clean it back up and bring the color back, and I understand the color fading some, but I don't want to have to sand it back to color, and I don't want it to become a completely different color, and it will be used quite a bit.

To clarify, I'm hunting the right color yellow Fiddleback to stay yellow in photos from the start of one growing season to the end of it.

This project is a pretty special idea for me, it's on as much of the flora and fauna of the southeast US section of the creation as I can give info on, in a forum thread setting, here on Blade Forums, and maybe one other.

The yellow is a long story, but the nutshell version is my Dr and I, who is as devout in her faith as I am, almost as holistic and homeopthic as I am, and we both agree that yellow is God's favorite color because of all the first flowers we see in spring and all the yellow flowers we end autumn with, and they happen to be the most known medicinally.

The only image I could find on the website to illustrate what I'm looking for. I'd rather have a longer bladed straight spine with a point, but the point is the priority

Hey Brian,

During my Fiddleback heyday between 2013 & 2016, my main theme was collecting various Shadetree burlap micartas in a rainbow of colors.

Back then there was no “yellow” color. I kept bugging Tod to make one and he finally did. He called it “Philellow” to either honor or rebuke me. It is a bright yellow that retains its color well.

Here is a photo of a Recluse with that burlap that I found on his website. It appears to still be available.

Here is a K.E. Bushie with Shadetree Starry Night burlap that I still have. It incorporates a combination of Philellow and Blue burlaps with glow chips that stands out in the wild quite well.

Perhaps one of these burlaps will meet your needs. If not, good luck with your search.

Phil

Available on who's website?

Thanks Phil! I remember that. That would be a great yellow, but oh I would totally love to do Stary Night with a lot of yellow for this! That would pop in the images so good!
