It is a cooper's adze. Found it in a flea market. I made the handle out of a piece of hickory firewood.
I love turquoise too. That's a beautiful piece of jewelry Charlie!

Have you ever heard of Waffle House?That is another Word Wide trend. The amount of assaults, robberies and car thefts at McDonalds over here is astonishing. Good to know it is not just my imagination.. Now i have to definitely get off my soap box.
Fat is Flavour. Highly processed cooking oils have no flavour, and no other benefits.
Excellent way to spend a day off, and nice lamb as well, Paul.
Fantastic wood on that lab, Rachel. Also, you're not the only one ready for this summer to be over, and we haven't even had the scorching one you've had down there.I like small tools.

I hope The Guardians are doing alright today. I don't know how much more I can take of this summer:
Camel bone looks amazing, Pete. Strange looking knife slip you have it sitting on, though...oh wait, that's a beer bottle slip...Hi everyone
This week has been a challenge. Happy it’s almost over. Enjoying this camel bone and preparing these links. They come from Fredericksburg, TX which is known for its peach growing. Its to the northwest of where we live. It’s also very close to LBJ’s family ranch on the Perdenales river. Cool area. The sausages are good eating. Hope you all have a good Friday.

Opposite end of the spectrum, we had a cold front go through overnight, today at the moment about 50 degrees, but feels like about 40 with the wind chill and rain.
Come on Dad, I'm ready to play!!Nice lamb Paul.
Don't do that to a man, i thought you must had got a bad health report and was leaving us for good.
.
Yeah, considering the garbage he eats!
They are grim places here though! 
One of the streets in Leeds used to have a branch at each end, just walking past was bad enough. At one of them, there were prominent signs stating that there were listening devices at the tables, and that any recorded evidence of criminal activity would be given to the police! They used words of more than one syllable though, so the junkies, shop-lifters, and drug-dealers that frequented the place weren't dissuaded That's beautiful work Charlie, very interesting too
Oh blimey, I can see why that isn't popular Mitch!Jack Black mate this will bring a tear to your eye. 1 of the councils in the state of Victoria wants to ban deep friers at sporting events for hot chips they were looking at air fried chip only & no deep frying
Same there?!That is another Word Wide trend. The amount of assaults, robberies and car thefts at McDonalds over here is astonishing. Good to know it is not just my imagination.
I had a mate years ago, who had been a manager at a branch when he was young, told me a few stories! Fish & chip shops still mainly fry in beef fat in Leeds, though nationally that has been changing for several decades. Apart from the vegetarians, I think oil is cheaper, requires changing less frequently, and doesn't take as much skill to fry in. There are plenty of rotten fish & chip shops here thoughSome years ago, Mickey-D's used to put beef fat in the frying oil! Those Fries were good!!
But it left Vegetarians with no options, so the protests got rid of the fat!!!
Must be over 10 years that the fries became mediocre!! And our "downtown" MacDonalds became a place for a lot of our marginal bretheren - Police calls every day!!
I haven't gone in 8 - 9 years!! Maybe it's the lack of fat!!!
Incredible Charlie
When I was a teenager, I got good at fly-tying, and made some pocket money tying them for what was then the country's biggest fishing tackle shop (Bennett's of Sheffield). It's one of the few artistic things I've ever done, but I don't have a single example Fantastic Dwight
One of the market regulars, Barry The Ted, was a cooper Sweet pic
You earned it buddy
I think I have another similar set knocking about somewhereI like small tools.
That's scary stuff Rachel!
Sorry to hear you're having another tough week Pete
I hope you are going to get to relax over the weekend Stunning!Work week is almost over thankfully. This K'roo has been a constant companion (recycled picture).
LOL!Might be time for a trip to Hereford, Credenhill.
Very gentlemanly Mitch, it's been enjoyable to see your collectionMorning

Hope you get some warmer weather soon mate
Another stellar photo Dwight
Enjoy your pub crawl with wee staggy Jack.Good morning Guardians, cool and overcast here, but it's still only 7.30am. Hoping it brightens up a little for mine and Al's pub crawl later. I'm going to call in at Charlie's first, and also get some lunch in town. First, I have a few things to do in the house. I hope that everyone has a good Friday, and that you're looking forward to the weekend
