I was fortunate enough to land the two I wanted, it's still just a dream to land a Waynorth HJ.

Yellow Rose is my favorite. The Mexican Bocote is noticeably lighter, and the wood has a really nice feel to it.

I think I'll just admire everyone's photos of those.

 

[Kiro]

Is there any history to the River Town name? Or is it just for fun, or maybe a nod to Tidioute being a town on a river?

Wow, excellent. Also, you must live right down the street from them!

Haha it appears that way, but no. How cool that would be though!

The label on the tube shows an image of Tidioute, so I just think it's a slant of town on the river.

There is a song.

River Towns​

Mark Knopfler​

I found myself a flophouse
And I hit the streets at nine
Get some grub and drink a beer
Maybe go down the line
These chips will take your money
Shake a young man down
It's the same in every one of these
Sorry river towns

River towns, sorry river towns
River towns
River towns, sorry river towns
River towns

I think bocote grain really pops on bigger handles. I have yet to see one of the bocote 86 that didn’t look excellent.

 

[Kiro]

Came home to a nice piece of grain.

Everything about these River Town Jacks is friggin' awesome.

Blade etch, wood, shield, chef's kiss all the way around.

 

[Jiki]

The name game is sometimes hilarious!!
I like "Bull Hide Carver", and all of its implications!!!

 

[Hoffmajo89]

So that must be what the bull silhouette was for at “the end of the hallway”… nice.

 

[Texoma]
