Thank you kind sir.That is such a beautiful lambsfoot, Dwight. Scales match the season well
I was gonna ask you if you forgot to double his pay but I see where you said you paid him the regular double fare.Barber Brian owes me half a haircut I need to claim!
The difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is about three weeks Jack. Just be patient.It's like he cut it on the left hand side, and just forgot to cut the other side! I doubled the cost of the haircut with a tip too!I'm annoyed about having to go back, I have a real simple haircut, and cut my own hair for 30 years. I only go to see Brian because I like the guy, and don't want him to go bust, but a half-blind barber is as useless as Old Don from Casino

Wow, Dwight, that looks like a centerpiece ay a fancy Thanksgiving feast... Wonderful.

How now, Guardians! What do we think - cooking with grease yet? The lines on the paper depict the height of the blade at the ricasso and at the hoof:

This is about as much as I can grind without cutting into the nail nick. I could grind past the nick for a dramatic effect; and the blade would remain pinchable. But I would have to reshape the hoof to do so.
That's hilarious...Better late than ugly...
Thank you, Pete.Gorgeous John
Thank you, Harvey.Very nice image, John.
Thank you, Todd.Right back at ya my friend.
Looks great. For a lambsfoot, I think the back should be a straight line between the plunge(?) and the final descent to the point.Thought I'd pop in with my lambsfoot progress. Think I ended up more in the Sheambsfoot ball park. Stabilized Chestnut, you can see a couple of wee wormholes towards the back.
