Nice! You are wasting no time in getting a patina started.

Thank you, Harvey.

Have a good day folks, and if it's the start of your working week, I hope it's a gentle one

I "saw" that picture somewhere... Silence of the Lambs maybe?

Man, I'm just too slow in replys, first John beat me to the "Marbleous" hook, and now the "Saw" comment... gotta pick up my reply reflexes!
Awsome shot, Jack!

Had the Ol' Bear Trap with me today.

Some days require a Big 'un! Nice photo, Dylan!

Taylor's Eyewitness lambsfoot arrived from across the pond. Sharp, centered, great w & t.

Congratulations! That looks like a keeper!

I'm getting the band back together

Why does Paul McCartney's voice goes along with that statement in my head?!
Nice, Jack!

In addition to putting new cover's on A's WCLF, Stephane has had a go at making the pattern himself. What do you think Guardians?

Hey..."Lambsfoot 2020"?

About the best I could do would be RAIN! I do have my Rosewood Bigun to help brighten my day!

Looks like a ray of sunshine! Grand shot, Ron!

Good Morning Guardians

Wonderful way to start the day!

It seems to be a Hartshead kind of day, so I put mine in pocket.

Tangled up in Lamb! Nice, Rachel!

The weather forecasters are still threatening more from Storm Dennis The Menace, so my mate might need more moral support than usual - or more cake! Have a good Thursday Guardians, and I'll hope to catch up with you all later in the day

“Let them eat cake.”

Ya'll are killinkilling me with the cake!
A pair of sweet photography's!

I decided to take a page out of Jack's book and go for a hike.
My little town of Loomis is known for a few things. It's the gateway to the Sierra's railroad line. It has many citrus orchards and fruit sheds. The trains would load up fruit here in town and transport it south to San Francisco and north to Nevada. We were also the state capital for a short time. But mostly we are known for our granite quarries. This was a major granite producing area at one time. I decided to take a hike around one of our local quarries, it was quiet and peaceful, and the weather was amazing. Of course I had my Lambsfoot with me.

Good for you, John! Beautiful scenery my friend!
Also have a Big 'un in my pockedses!

 

[CelloDan]

Oh... Would you look what arrived in time for Wooden Wednesday? My first Big 'Un, and in ebony too!

Very nice Mike !
I see you put it to good use right away

That's pretty cool, Dan.

Gracias John !

Thanks for taking us along John
Looks like a beautiful day ! I just learned from wikipedia that your region has "a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) that is characterized by cool, wet winters and hot, dry summer."
Do you get a lot of rain in winter ?

 

[Half/Stop]

Looks like a ray of sunshine! Grand shot, Ron!

Also have a Big 'un in my pockedses!

Thanks Dennis! You’re sporting a nice Horn Bigun yourself today buddy!

 

[JohnDF]

gotta pick up my reply reflexes!

I'm just hustling to keep up with you... I'm like Sam chasing after Frodo.

Wonderful way to start the day!

Thank you, Dennis.

Beautiful scenery my friend!

Thank, I live in a beautiful part of California.

have a Big 'un in my pockedses!

Bragger.
Seriously, nice Lambsfoot.

Do you get a lot of rain in winter ?

Some years "yes" and some years "no". This year has been a little light.
We tend to go through a few years of drought and a few years of flooding.

Thank you Guardians !
The secret is to " embrace winter " ha ha
Here is my five seconds of fame
We were "featured" on the TV evening news a few years ago on opening day at the Rideau Canal ( temps were like - 20 C )
Funny story is .... my wife had call in sick at work that day. When the news reporter approached me to ask if he could ask me a few questions I said " Sure ".
Out of the corner of my eye I saw my wife backing away far from the camera. I asked her after why she did that, she answered me " I CALL IN SICK REMEMBER ! "
The next day a few of her coworkers were telling her that they had seen me and the kids in the news and how bad it was was that she had been sick and unable to join us

That’s a great video, Dan!

Since moving to Minnesota two years ago, I’ve been preaching the “embrace winter” philosophy, but I’m not sure my wife’s fully on board. I’d really like to take up ice fishing, but I‘m not sure I’d know where to start!

Now, I do not think "Papi's shop" is opening any time soon
Oh well, ....perhaps I can start planting my peas then ? What do you think Rachel ? r8shell

Perhaps you can plant some snow peas.

Great photos, John! Looks like you had beautiful weather for a hike.

 

[JohnDF]

Great photos, John!

Thanks, Barrett.
It was mid 70's and sunny, can't ask for better than that!!!

 

[Wild Ben]

Had to shed a tear when I sent the "Extraordinary Linus" off to his next host in Nebraska! Here he is posing with his new friends for one last photo. We'll miss you Linus!

 

[Wild Willie]

I’d really like to take up ice fishing, but I‘m not sure I’d know where to start!

Just watch Grumpy Old Men and you'll get the idea.

 

[screened porch]

I have a TEW lambsfoot with a hump above the nail nick. I figure it was caused by the stamping of the nail nick.

You were an excellent host.

 

[herder]

The Guardians thread always has the best and most interesting pictures and stories along with so many wonderful shots of some of our favorite knives.
As I've mentioned before, I sure enjoy seeing so many fantastic pictures from around the country and abroad, thanks all!!!
My region can grow some great crops in the summer and great icicles in the winter.

MN transplant here too. I’ve been ice fishing many times, but it’s too cold and too slow for my liking. I’ll wait a few months to get the boat out!

 

[Half/Stop]

I’ve got to take my brother to Kennesaw this morning. He’s going to owe me Big Time! I’m going to wait until around 9AM so some of the madness will die down a little. I believe I’ll be okay with just this WCLF in my pocket!

 

[Wild Willie]

Taking my lambsfoot along to the shop to put a tie rod in the pickup, and rebuild a plow.

And probably drink a few beers...

Goodbyes are never easy, Ben.
It might help to know we are eagerly awaiting his arrival to the Cornhusker state though!

Good Morning Guardians

That is such a funny story Dan! Thanks for sharing the video with us, I hope you're back in your shop before too long Meanwhile, good for you in embracing winter

Jack Black - Thank you Jack. Nice looking cake image. Cake soothes the Soul.

Thanks buddy We only had one cake today, as my mate has just been diagnosed with diabetes We did 'celebrate' with his favourite cake though I bought it, but it wouldn't be my first choice. The guy who sells them calls them 'School Slabs', I think because they are like the sort of sponge they served with custard when we were kids at school. They are just sponge cake, topped with strawberry jam, and sprinkled with dessicated coconut - very old-fashioned! The 'slab' is rectangular, about 12" by 18"

Always more cake!

See what I mean... Always more cake!!!

Oh... Would you look what arrived in time for Wooden Wednesday? My first Big 'Un, and in ebony too!

Surprise package arrival from my friend and yours, Mr. Jack Black

Thank you, Sir!

I'd completely forgotten about that one Mike! I'm glad it made it in the end

With a hole I imagine! You and the missus have had quite a few climate changes Barrett

Thanks for your great Linus posts Ben, that's a very nice collection you have there

I think you're probably right Jer

Safe travels Ron, your gorgeous WCLF should be a good companion Along with your brother of course!

I'm sure the Lambsfoot will enjoy that Willie

Fantastic pic Mark, hope Linus makes good time getting to you

Good Morning Guardians

Looking good John

Hi Guardians, we're still getting knocked about by Storm Dennis here, and it's rained really heavily today. I'm warm and dry again at home, but many folks aren't as lucky Hope everyone here is having a good day, it's Friday tomorrow
