Thanks! No knife this year. Soccer gear and some drawing pencils and blank comic book to draw in.Hope it's a great one. Did he get a knife?
At the risk of sounding a bit too proper, I often eat pizza with a knife and fork. My ebony Lambfoot was up to the task...

Thank you Jack.
Thanks GT.
Very nice GT. What kind of wood are Union Jack's scales made of?I took a couple of new photos of my Union Jack yesterday (a rare occurrence for a photophobe like me), and I diddled the light and color while processing the pics. Here's a mark side result:
Much obliged Harvey.
Wow that is exciting and the etch is super cool.They're done, except for the acid etchI'm meeting up with Duncan @Campbellclanman on Tuesday, so very much hoping they'll be ready before then
John I like this but can't figure it out. Did you get a new one? Image doctored? What are those scales? Very cool.Good Evening Guardians

No filter. It's my African Rosewood shining in the sun. Thought it turned out kinda cool looking.

Dwight, its a wee bit of a mystery, how can something that looks scary actually be a positive ?

Wow Jack that’s great news!They're done, except for the acid etch
We got to meet Duncan and Paul at the Rendezvous in 2017. It was a great time indeed! I hope you guys have a great visit! Can’t wait to see the Barlow’s! They are sure to be a classic! Today I’m carrying my one and only Senator. I hope y’all have a great day!

I think I'll be on the lookout for ironwood lambsfoots today (with probably a few exceptions).

Totally Totem, Dave!

John, I don't enjoy photography very much because it turns out to be so time-consuming for me. First I have to make sure I have my (actually, my wife's) old point&shoot camera with me, with charged batteries. Then I have to find a spot with enough light, but not too much sun, and then try to anticipate/avoid all the weird reflections that may occur. I usually take 4-6 pics of each "pose" in order to raise my chances of getting at least one "keeper" (even with my low standards). Then I have to download the photos to my MacBook, make an initial pass through the entire group of current photos to identify the obvious rejects, and then process the survivors, usually by cropping and doing a 1-click "auto-enhance". I then have to decide which processed pics I'l actually save, save them to the appropriate folders, name the files in a helpful way, and finally resize to try to get most under 200 KB. Wears me out! 
Best wishes in your search for a replacement lambsfoot!
Cool pic of lambsfoot in situ!
Looks like a great time, Joshua!
First, I was trying to figure out if you had a new lambsfoot because the grain didn't look familiar. Then, I was trying to figure out what the corrugated background was and finally realized that because of the way the vertical dark lines went OVER the knife that they were actually shadows (from venetian blinds?) on a wood background (table top?). Very nice!!
I always enjoy the "I carry a lambsfoot ..." posts, Dwight, and this is a good one!
Thanks, Dwight; Union Jack is a rosewood model with dark stripes (parallel to handle on pile side, diagonal on mark side).
I'm surprised an untamed beast like Sköll tolerates being fenced in with poultry perched on him!

Unlike Dave, I did NOT have to wait long to spot my first ironwood
.Totally Totem, Dave!
That IS warm; my city hasn't hit 80˚F so far this year.It's going to 85F today for us Northerners thats warm.
Excellent photo, Gary.

Thanks buddy, that's an excellent pic, welcome to the Dark Side!
Thanks, Vince & Jack & Harvey & John....
Why a photophobe? That's an excellent picture.

High regards to you, Jeff, for emulating the generosity that's quite common on The Porch!!
Best wishes in your search for a replacement lambsfoot! And leave devastation in your wake??

Cool pic of lambsfoot in situ! Birthday thrills, 2-tone chills, and charcoal grills!
Looks like a great time, Joshua! Arresting photo, John; I looked at this one for a long time!Good Evening Guardians

That's a pretty primo patina popping already, Vince!
Wishing the Guardians a terrific Thursday.
Cool pic, John!Good Morning Guardians
