Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

I went outside earlier this evening to take a Lambsfoot picture, and I couldn’t find my charcoal chimney starter that I sometimes use as a background for knife pics. I knew exactly where it had been, and I realized pretty quickly what must have happened to it. We had our roof replaced yesterday, and the crew doing the job must have tossed it in the dumpster when they were cleaning up. I suppose I can see where it might have looked like one of the old roof vents they replaced, although it’s a bit of a stretch. 🙄

It’s really not a huge deal, they’re like $25, but you can bet I’ll be deducting that from the check I have to write them. 😁 The knife pic background part irritates me more than anything. It was non-reflective, did a good job portraying accurate colors (which can be tricky sometimes taking knife pics with an iPhone) and I liked the character it had. It’ll take years get a new one looking that good.

Here’s the most recent Lambsfoot pic I took on the chimney starter, as well as a behind-the-scenes pic showing the whole thing that I took at the same time. RIP old friend. 😢😉😁

Anyways… here was the pic I was trying to take. I was fortunate enough to pick up another Albers
Lambsfoot of the exchange thanks to fellow Guardian @natchezz . The newcomer is in Curly Katalox, which is a chocolatey dark brown with some subtle but attractive character. I’m really happy to have it. :thumbsup:

Since I can't go back in time and get a '17 guardians SFO, I finally decided what to do with the little wormy rosewood here...

The worst thing I can do is screw it all up. I just have to figure out how to do the pivot pin with the nice file work on the bolster.

Anyways... I'll keep the little guy in my pocket for another day or two before chopping it apart. Should be fun to work on something of a better quality.


I'll leave you with a bit of wisdom from my lunch yesterday.

Hope everyone had a great hump day!

I guess cudgee and Mitch are already well into tomorrow so I hope Thursday is treating you well.

Looks like an interesting project Rick. 👌
Looking forward to the finished knife.

Thanks! After my last couple projects confidence is pretty high that I can do it well.

It was going to be spalted maple because of your gorgeous knife, but all of the wood I ordered needs to be stabilized.

Building the equipment to do that is going to be a dead of winter project. I did get a nice pump out of an old cooler, so it's just down to piping it to a suitable container with some valves and a gauge and hoping the pump works. So... Spalted maple will be next year. Lol!
