Jack Black - Still it’s a Lambsfoot. Reason enough to celebrate.

Good Morning Guardians.

Saw this cap online and couldn’t pass it up. Thanks Barry.

True Harvey, though I only bought that one just to see how badly it was made! Great cap my friend (well done Barry), and that's a smashing pic

Cool pic Ed

Hope everyone's week is going OK. I'll be off to Sheffield tomorrow, and I thought I'd carry this Lambsfoot of Charlie's again

Jack Black - Thank you Jack. Have fun.

Spent a rather tense day in the Women's imaging lab at the hospital today with the Missus.
Looks like everything is OK though!!
I may have rubbed a dent in my Ironwood.

Not even sure how far behind I am, Guardians, but here's some posts I found interesting this week.

Jake was hanging out while I did some work on the wife's car.
...

Jake's rosewood is looking very fit; that ski wax seems to be working well!!

True GT ! I could not help it, got bitten by the love bug !
Now ... try to date the pastor's daughter with the whole congregation scrutinizing your every move at every turn
Not for the faint of heart !

True! Probably not a very private courtship!

Your ironwood is looking appealing, Vince, and I like the ovine background. I enjoyed those Herriot books!

The floors are super nice.
Can't wait for the rest of the work to be done now.

Thank you, GT.
I might actually have to go out and do something nice when we hit 35.

Glad to hear that the work is turning out well, John!

...
I'm pleased you can get some use from it my friend, how is the action? It might be worth polishing and/or oiling the wood after sanding I have a trip over to Sheffield on Friday



Not the first time I've gone nuts Gary! I eat a lot of them, but I usually have to buy them from the store. The ghost-pigeon is still there despite the rain we've had over the past couple of days. It's a window I can't get to, and window-cleaners are a nearly extinct species here. Hopefully it'll eventually fade and die!

LOL! It is one of several bottle-openers I have been gifted by friends here, I like it, and it always gives me a chuckle Nice pic there, and I'm looking forward to seeing which Lambsfoot comes next

Your HHB looks fine Gary! The Rosewood appears just a little too dry in my humble opinion.
...

Good idea about the rosewood on my LamBarJack, Jack & Ron. I had to do some final finishing on it with 0000 steel wool, then rubbed some beeswax into it. It's looking a little darker and richer now.

My poor old eyes completely misinterpreted that photo the first time you posted it, Jack! I thought you had somehow captured an image of a strange mist rising from the garden, noticed that someone with imagination could see a pigeon in that misty form, and then made up a cock-and-bull story to go with it. But the thump you originally mentioned was real, and a pigeon literally crashed into that window and left an imprint, just like in the cartoons!!

My lambsfoot this week has been Man Jack, the stag "senator".

Your ebony lambsfoot always is such a rich black, Dan! Is that still from the "buffing" you did when you first got the knife, or do you "refinish" it periodically?

Good morning and nice week Guardians.

Splendid photo of your stag HHB, José!

...
For today's # 50 I wanted to celebrate by sharing this photo. This bird was quite shy and it took a while to get this shot. No hand feeding this one .
Anyone knows the name of this bird ?

Bob?

One of my favorite jokes is a "grasshopper walks into a bar" joke with essentially your punchline, John!

Good morning Guardians! I’m totin a new classic this morning!

Good morning Guardians!

Doubly Magnificent!

This L'il one has been swimming with the sharks!!

Stylish horn on that lambsfoot, ED!

...
Good Morning Guardians.

Cool photo and fabric, Harvey!

WOW, I want to express my gratitude to @Crazy Canuck for his generosity.
This is not a starter package, Mike set me up for life !!!
I just went out on my lunch hour I shot a few clay shots YEAH !!!
My treasured lambsfoot had the honors of opening this special package.
TY Mike
...

Congrats, Dan; you are well-equipped now!
Kudos to Mike for his generosity!

GT the yellow leaves are from a Swedish Aspen

haha he did at that

Thank you, my friend, we just received a framed certificate from the Governor-General congratulating us on our fiftieth youd think we flew to the moon and. back.

You HHB is destined to do great things

Thanks for the replies, Dave. I had to look up Swedish Aspen; the shape of the tree seems very similar to a species we have around here called Lombardi poplar.

Good Morning Guardians

Old Faithful!!

Good morning Guardians. This Standard Lambfoot with Rosewood Covers arrived in yesterday's afternoon mail. It has nice dark Rosewood covers and will make a nice addition to my flock. It is marketed by J. Adams of Sheffield but actually made by A. Wright. Notice the oval tang stamp that reads Made in Sheffield.
...
The dealer included a nice leather sheath as a bonus.

Congrats on your latest lambsfoot, ED!

Thanks, Gary. Man Jack's a looker, too!
Herriot practised in Yorkshire, as you know. Enjoying the book so far.

There is a great tv show on over here at the moment called The Yorkshire Vet, it is about a veterinary practice that is run out of James Herriot's old surgery, i really enjoy it. Have you had a chance to see it.?

Hadn't heard of it. I don't have cable or satellite TV, so I only get a handful of channels--whatever I can pick up with the antenna. But it sounds interesting.

That is a pity, it is on free to air here, you would enjoy it. I also do not have cable or satellite, to expensive for what you get. You have a good weekend mate.

 

[cudgee]

Good evening everyone, getting in early, just want to wish all a good weekend. I am going to a local market on Sunday, see what is available, whatever happens will be injecting money into the local economy. Will be carting some "wood" with me.

TY GT

I don't think it's necessarily from the buffing although it may have improved the look and feel when I did it the first time.

I think black knives are in general very "photogenic" and go with everything.

The ebony on the pile side of my lamb is pretty good ... the mark side has a couple of very light streaks of brown ( but so does my cello fingerboard and my daughters violin).

I do once in while grab a microfiber cloth and use just a tiny drop of mineral oil to hand buff it ... and the ebony really pops and shows nice if I take pictures afterwards .

Interestingly, just last week I power buffed it for the second time. The first time I had only used the coarser wheel and stopped. This time I used the 3 wood buffing wheels in my system. The knife came out looking like black glass, super glossy and shiny BUT I hated how it looked. It made it look like plastic.

I like it when the ebony looks more like charcoal, it's a working knife after all
So I rubbed it with 0000 steel wool and buffed it again lightly with the coarse wheel only ( with almost no compound on it).

Now I am happy again

 

[JohnDF]

Looks like everything is OK though!!

That's awesome news, Mark.

One of my favorite jokes is a "grasshopper walks into a bar" joke with essentially your punchline, John!

Now I want to hear the joke.

Old Faithful!!

Yes indeed!

Man Jack is looking fine, GT.

Good evening Guardians! It's been so wet around here lately, these guys have been popping up all over the place!
