Indeed!Thanks for the fascinating historyI hope you don't take this the wrong way but from that statue it looks like Texican women are a formidable breed
Many Central Texas settlers came from Germany and Czechoslovakia and were, let's just say, sturdy. 
Jack, this pic came out fantastic!That's looking really good Taylor, I'm very pleased you like the pattern
I remember it has beeswax in it!
TV specifically aimed at children was very sparse here when I was a kid, but in the skool holidays, the BBC would always repeat a Robinson Crusoe seies, which was actually made in Scandinavia. I dare say our other British Guardians will remember the haunting theme tune, if nothing else
(The series itself is there too if anyone fancies it
Daniel Dafoe's visit to Sheffield is often recounted there, and makes for an interesting read
"This town of Sheffield is very populous and large, the streets narrow, and the houses dark and black, occasioned by the continued smoke of the forges, which are always at work: Here they make all sorts of cutlery-ware, but especially that of edged-tools, knives, razors, axes, &. and nails; and here the only mili of the sort, which was in use in England for some time was set up, (viz.) for turning their grindstones, though now 'tis grown more common."

I have a physiotherapy appointment at the hospital this morning, so I'll just be slipping my Ashley's Choice Lambsfoot in my pocket

Sure hope I don't have to wait 3 months for this one
lol, you couldn't pay me in gold to have a sleepover in that scary bunny park.LOL! Yeah I said I liked some modern art out in the open. But I think I definately prefer Canadian open air modern art to Yorkshire open air modern art...
I haven’t carried this one in a while. I hope all you Guardians have a great day!
Mine is due some exercise 
Good morning, Guardians.
Some excellent stuff for me to look further into. Thank you for that, Jack. I hope your appointment is productive and that it serves to ease some of your discomfort in the long term. Very fine choice of Lambsfoot today.
I envy your ability to capture the beautiful details of that horn, Ron. Beautiful picture and equally beautiful knife!
My, my, that is a pretty knife. That dark horn is very striking! And seems to be nicely matched too!
I have the wee Stag with me today again. I am very fond of this Lambsfoot, its ranks up there with my 2018 Ebony as my two favorite Lambsfoot knives.
Hey Dylan, I'm having the same problem as you keeping up with this and other threads, but fortunately I saw this fly by.
I've found that my stock buffalo horn lambsfoot has some seasonal shrinkage. The pins go from flush to noticeable and one of the covers starts to pull away at the non-pivot end. Last year I used some mineral oil and this year I instead applied some mineral oil and beeswax "wood balm" that I use to finish my carvings. I don't know if it's the milder summer we are having or the balm, but my lambsfoot doesn't seem to have as much shrinkage this year. The wax makes it nice and shiny for a while, too, but that's starting to wear off after its usual frequent pocket time.
LOL! Yeah I said I liked some modern art out in the open. But I think I definately prefer Canadian open air modern art to Yorkshire open air modern art...
Jack, this pic came out fantastic!
I sure hope it gets to you fast 
Hope that is going to settle down Greg
Thanks Jack! I need to get the buffaloes out more often!Looks great Ron
Thanks Jack. It’ll be a while yet, but, no worries, they’re all good things keeping me busy.
Say, do you know what works really well for trimming ears of corn before soaking and throwing them on the grill, husk and all? A lambsfoot, of course!
Friday’s nearly here folks. I hope everyone has a good weekend ahead.
The weekend is nearly here folks, have a good Friday 
:thumsup:
Thanks, Jack. It’s tough to capture in a picture what I’m actually seeing.
What the! a Friday sausage sandwich
darn kids need to focusEr....I think I must have got my days mixed up Dave
Looks tasty my friend
darn kids need to focus
I wish my internet connection would focus, absolutely terrible today 
Rounded tip: It seems that my Guardian has acquired a rounded/ blunt tipnot sure what happened. Do any of you fellows/gals have any suggestions on how to crisp it up again?
I'm not so sure its showing well enough using the phone, but here goesCan you take a pic Dave
Maybe it's just me being a fussy Freddie
