Thanks wjt......when you say "pics posted" do you mean on fotki or in Andy's actual post ? I believe you are onto something with regards to the cache getting in the way without the benefit of a fresh page. It would show new posts to existing threads when I refreshed which made me believe it was working......but perhaps blocking new threads from hitting the screen. Much obliged for the insight !

What part of VA do you hail from ? I used to live in Troutville once upon a time, right next to the BlueRidge Parkway.

I was referring to the fotki post -- I just use the log out/in as a rule of thumb, but VBB is very cache intensive!

I'm right outside of Shenandoah in the Albemarle/Greene area. Lovely country! And agreed nice to see other commonwealth folks here.

 

[Fiddleback]

We have two knives left sharks. The Bushfinger wearing Bocote. Maybe the nicest lightest and best shaped handle in the batch and the Bushraptor, again, Koa goodness.

Thank you very much for your support! It means the world to us at Fiddleback Forge.

Any word on the runt?

 

[thurin]

Now that things have calmed down....

Whew - another sweet batch. Those double bolstered hunters are amazing!

I wonder if that dud Duke was somehow "warped" after Ken put the handles on?

 

[xxwjtxx]

Good god that bocote is SWEET -- not sure how its still around?!

 

[Fiddleback]

Oh. Yes. Sorry about that. The Runt went to Trojan Tao. Thank You TT.

 

[aZhu]

Oh. Yes. Sorry about that. The Runt went to Trojan Tao. Thank You TT.

How about that mystery photo with the black runt? I'll take it if it's available

 

[Fiddleback]

Oh. Those two are not available with the batch. Nice eye though.

 

[aZhu]

[TrojanTau]

Oh. Yes. Sorry about that. The Runt went to Trojan Tao. Thank You TT.

Thanks Andy, will send payment when I get home

 

[McVeyMac]

You do this every week, I'm not biting this week though.

 

[Kirkwood]

I don't think a Bushfinger has lasted this long in quite a while. It's a nice one too!

 

[McVeyMac]
