Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

It'll be competition for Wrights. Look forward to seeing the finished article and I wonder if it'll influence Wrights offerings any.

In terms of competion, I don't think it'll make any difference to Wright's, we are a very small market for them Their competition is TEW and Eggington, and they not only have a cordial relationship with them, they even make knives for them Nor do I think a GEC Lambsfoot, which I'm sure will be excellent, will influence them either

One of my great-uncles was a tackler in one of the cotton mills in Leigh in Lancashire. Not a single one of them chaps had full length fingers

A tenner for beans on toast? I think my grandad would say "Thi ben 'ad lad"

Bean 'ad, bean bloody robbed!

Everyones doing rosewood today so I thought I'd join in

Very nice David

Yip I'm a mild/porters chap myself even throughout the summer months.
You've caught the colours in the grain of the Union Jack great there

Aye sorry I should of elaborated really.
It's whats known as 'Rostherne Celtic Head'. It sits within the churchyard of St' Mary's Parish Church in the village of Rostherne in the county of Cheshire.

It's carved from sandstone and purportedly shows the Celtic horned god Cernnunos. It was supposedly recovered from the nearby Rostherne Mere (here in the UK a mere is a natural lake formed about 12000 years ago during the last ice age). If all this is true it could be anywhere from 2000 to ?5000 years old.

Awesome! I have a lot of homework to follow up on, love the history.
We have our own sculpture as well have a look. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/big-head-sculpture

LOL! Thats great Dave! Really interesting. I wonder if in 2000 years time some BF lambsfoot Guardian will be balancing their lambsfoot knife on that for a quick photo...??
I don't like modern art particularly but I do like modern sculptures when there out in the open. If ever you get to Melbourne in Australia you can spend all day tracking down some really cool modern street art.
There's an interesting sculpture park in Mr Black's home county:

Hey, I have a place for that head!



I've only been to Yorkshire Sculpture Park once, but there's some very freaky stuff there! What is wrong with people?!



I had my Todd Davison 'Lambsfoot' with me

That's too creepy half rabbit half man! re a place for the head, if the town decides to scrap the head, maybe we can put our heads together and change history a little. The Todd Davison is a beauty.

Isn't it?! Darn thing is about 20 foot high! There's not just that one either!



LOL! Sounds like a plan! And thanks, my TD is due some pocket time

Ron, I love your big'un, so graceful with the extra length.
And Jack, your "cheap" rosewood looks anything but cheap . . . beautiful grain.

Thanks Jeff! Glenn did a wonderful job on this one for me!

I have a question when everyone receives Ashley's Choice, will they let the blade patina or try to keep it shiny?
As for myself, I am undecided.

I suspect that the answer to that will vary Dave Unless they're used on food, in my experience, those polished blades stay pretty shiny anyhow. I have really noticed a difference on the unpolished blade of my rosewood Big 'Un

 

[Half/Stop]

Have a good day Guardians!

Yeah, I really didn't want to start a survey. Folks I was just thinking out loud let's just let nature take its course, your answers will eventually shine or not, through your posts.

Another great photo Ron!
