Great photo David!
Here's another shot from the day it arrived, it has since begun acquiring a nice patina.

This week I'll carry my Union Jack, the rosewood lambsfoot my wife and daughter bought for my in York when they visited the UK a couple of years ago:
Good morning, Guardians!
Took puppy out for a walk this is the front of the pub, you can see the top of our building in the background.

On this Memorial Day, I hope you will join me and take a moment to remember all the fallen men and women who fought valiantly to protect human freedom across the globe.
How about a baseball pic for Lambsfoot content? I figure Will the Thrill would carry Ebony

Lamb(foot) Vindaloo.
Made an opps
Great looking knives David but I'm afraid it is NOT okay to post em. No knives except lambsfoot in this thread my friend.
Thanks Jack, I can see how that could be mis-read. There will be no wedding(only lots of weeding) in my future...I'm one and done..."I Live Alone", Sonia Dada
I am sorry, I'll edit it out, and repost another appropriate pic tomorrow
Preston, look what I found this afternoon! Mackays Ice Cream Shop its been in business 70 years. How could I have missed it, right next to the bar?!

What a great background for an ebony knife.Morning Guardians, three-day weekends always mess up the following week for me a bit, I don't know if anyone else finds that? I suppose starting the week on Tuesday makes Friday a day nearer I'm starting my week off we some ebony Have a good week folks
The background to this pic is a traditional mourning handkerchief made in Belfast in (pre-partition) Ireland) early in the 20th century. One time, when I was in Ireland, I got a lift back from an event at Castle Espie in County Down, with some folks who had found a whole box of them, and were selling them off to raise money for charity
Thanks Jack!Beautiful grain in that Ironwood Ron, your photo shows it off to perfection
Cool pic Vince
That's handy Dave!

Beautiful Jose
That's some nice black ebony Joshua
Always nice to see your Union Jack GT I am due a trip to Barnitt's, there are barely any good hardware stores left here
Another great pic, looks like you have built up some nice patina there
Thank you Dwight, and thanks for editing your post David
Fantastic Dwight
I'm hoping to escape both Preston

When I was in the workforce, I couldn’t wait for such things as three day holidays. I guess this makes me a full blown curmudgeon, because as a retired person, I can’t wait for them to end. The site of long lines of traffic in the morning, as they head to work, while I peacefully walk with my Ari, brings a smile to my face. I know. I’m terrible.Morning Guardians, three-day weekends always mess up the following week for me a bit, I don't know if anyone else finds that?

Your Ebony Lambsfoot(everyone’s Ebony) is wonderful, and probably my most desired. Your handkerchief is quite nice.
dc50 Two Beauties, David. The Ebony and the painting.
JohnDF Very Nice image, John.
Cutfinger I Happy for you that you found that precious Ebony Lambsfoot.
Prester John Such a handsome Lambsfoot, Preston.
Half/Stop Good look at your nice Ironwood Lambsfoot, Ron.
Pàdruig What a peaceful and beautiful setting to drink in with your new cup, Dylan. As perfect as youR Dami Lambsfoot.
Good Morning Guardians.
Thank you kindly, Dave.What a sensational photo Harvey.
Beautiful country Cascades, right? Where 'bouts? Did you carve the cup? Looks like a dandyGood morning, Guardians.
I hope everyone had a pleasant weekend. Mine was rather cold but quite enjoyable all the same. I thought I would share a couple of pictures from my trip followed by the Lambsfoot that I have in my pocket today, paired with a new piece of kit. I'd have to say that this is my new favorite cup for wilderness excursions.
Another great pic - grats. Like you, I'm very happy to be able enjoy a cup of coffee instead of having to gulp it down so I can join the rat-raceWhen I was in the workforce, I couldn’t wait for such things as three day holidays.

Interesting handkerchief Jack Black and good mourning to you too!
Sharpened my Lambsfoot again, so I'm ready for anything.
I forgot my Lambsfoot at work last week, and figured I had lost it. I put it in my tool belt after using it, instead of into my pocket. I was so relieved to find it the next day.
G'day all!

Good morning, Guardians!
Thanks Jack!
It’s my Ironwood Bigun for me today!
Thank you, Jack! It is actually black linen micarta, with a matte finish, but it looks just like ebony in that picture.

Good Morning Guardians.
Thanks for the interesting info. And yes, I care about and respect the environment. If you would, please PM me more info about where to get one?Thank you, Harvey. Excellent picture, as always!
Thank you! I reside in the Pacific Northwest and am fortunate to have access to all sorts of beautiful country. These pictures were taken in one of my favorite haunts, the Fire Camp Lakes located in the Mt. Jefferson wilderness.
The cup makes for an interesting topic. It is known by a number of names but the one I first learned was kuksa. Traditionally, it was (and I suspect still is) a cup that was carved by the Sami people in Northern Scandinavia. Carved out of birch burl, it was usually done on an individual basis by the would-be bearer.
Since I have respect for old traditions, I did not make this cup and did not opt to buy one that was hand made either. Traditionally, you would either carve your own or have one gifted to you. Since I have not the time and birch burl can be difficult to find, I opted to buy a modern version that is made in Finland from a wood fiber composite material. It is supposed to be environmentally friendly (if you care about such things), dishwasher safe, and pretty darn indestructible. Plus, its design prevents you from scorching your fingers and/or lips when drinking a hot beverage.
