Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Jack Black said:
The 36 (Leeds to Ripon via Harrogate and Ripley) must be the poshest bus in Yorkshire - Extra wide leather seats, Wi-Fi, USB chargers at every seat, fold-down work tables, and a library! The views heading towards Harrogate between Harewood and Pannal are spectacular, great views of the deer and red kites too, and there is often a heron on the weir at Harewood Bridge :) After being captured at the Battle of Marston Moor, Charles I was taken back to London along the Burn Bridge road, which comes off Harrogate Road between the turn-off for Otley and Pannal. Riding on horseback, the branch of a tree caught his hat, and caused it to fall off. Somebody cut down the tree for being so "impudent" to the King! o_O :rolleyes: :D The One-Eyed Rat is a great pub I think, and that's a nice beery shot of your Lambsfoot my friend :) :thumbsup:

Thanks for the history lesson Jack :thumbsup: That's a great story about the oak tree. I was actually reading about the civil war a few weeks ago. I know very little about it but it appears it was real atrocious mess :(
The 36 buses never used to be that fancy :eek: Think I'll move in :D:thumbsup: But the buses that run betwixt Burnley to Skipton and Keighley are pretty fancy with those bells and whistles. And I recently found that the Yorkshire Coastliners have been updated with all the mod-cons to. Which would be great if they ever turned up....:rolleyes:

I think the small pattern still makes for a capable knife Charlie, very pocketable and an attractive pattern, but it must feel very different to the Big 'un you've been carrying. For me, they're almost like two completely different patterns - well they are - which isn't a bad thing :) :thumbsup:

My horn lambsfoot which I've barely been able to put down is a small pruner frame. In comparison to the large lambsfoot I have it feels like a completely different knife; in a good way of course :thumbsup:

I would like to read more about the English Civil War myself David, the last book I bought on it really wasn't very good :( Here's Marston Moor today :thumbsup:

They sometimes give out newspapers and breakfast rolls on the 36 too! And the latest Coastliner fleet has tables on the upper deck! :D That looks like a great adventure my friend, and your horn Lambsfoot seems to have become a constant companion :) :thumbsup:
 
Good morning, guardians.

I am enjoying a bit of coffee before I get busy with the weekend. My schedule has finally started to even out, but as a result, I have a to-do list a mile long, including getting some leather related items completed today.

I hope everyone is well.

Well, it's Harrogate! It's not like the North at all is it?! :rolleyes: ;) :thumbsup:

Cool pic David, I have a few of those old whistles myself :thumbsup:

I had a nice day with my Goddaughter and her dad, we had a fry-up in a local cafe, a trip to Kirkstall Abbey, and then a pint by the river at a decent local pub :) Hope everyone else is having a good weekend :thumbsup:

I like it so much that I'm going to have Timothy LaCombre make me a custom knife with a lambsfoot blade. It will have some features that aren't common to the lambsfoots posted here, but I really love the blade shape! It is the perfect every-task-utility knife.

Here's a picture I made (I think I should have wrote "rat tail" for the bolster rather than "fluted" but we've got a lot of time before this knife sees completion):

I think so too Joshua :thumbsup: It sounds like you're going to have an amazing custom Lambsfoot there, but your pic isn't showing for me :confused: :thumbsup:
