Looks good Dan

Funny, I can highlight text but I can't quote it.
Just wanted to say that the Marie Sharp's habanero sauce should kill a few cooties.

Old Toffee Wings with my Republic of Ireland Second. Maybe I assumed it was a Peterson, or maybe Mr. Edwards told me it was.

Thanks buddy, nice combination

Hope that you wake up tomorrow feeling right as rain again Jack! Spicy food is always my go-to when I don't feel well. But that may be my NM/Tex-Mex upbringing lol! In any case hope you find the sauce to be a nice "enhancer".

Have a great finish to your weekend, Guardians!

Thank you Michael The Smoked Habanero has a lovely flavour, thanks again my friend

I take a very conservative approach to exposure, often preferring slightly underexposed to overexposed as it gives me more color and shadow to play around with when I'm adjusting the saturation or color curves directly. The chestnut color of this particular knife can be tricky as too much saturation produces unnaturally or artificially vibrant reds.

If you have a "highlights" slider, try bringing that up to compensate for the reduced exposure and emphasize the lighter, brighter tones in the bone. Also, while I'm usually trying for deeper, darker shadows, it can be interesting at times to brighten up the shadows and see how it changes the color of the bone. I'll take rich, creamy bone to black shadows any day.

One more thought - yellow is a rough background color if you're shooting for vibrancy. Yellow light has the interesting effect of sapping color. Fill a room with nothing but yellow lights and you can't see any color - everything in the room will appear monochromatic. To a lesser extent, the yellow light reflected from your background is sapping a lot of the vibrancy from the available palette. Using a darker, neutral, and cooler background may assist in getting the light and bright features of the bone to "pop."

I'd love to continue the conversation, but I'm afraid I'm boring the Guardians to tears for the second time this week! First with punk rock and now photographic theory - if you'd like to continue investigating this, please don't hesitate to shoot me a DM!

Very interesting Will I should put more time and effort into my photography, I keep meaning to take a look in the photography sub-forum, but I've found it hard enough to find time to post on The Porch this past year

That looks mighty tasty

Back on the grind. Not really though as it’s slow today. A rainy day but it’s better than the white stuff. Looking forward to the Badger show next weekend.

HHB in the pocket.

The Badger Show has come round fast Paul, hope you're going to have a fantastic time Great to see your Hartshead Barlow pal

Sounds like a good time, Jack! Hope all goes well and the weather is good!

Thanks Barrett, good weather will certainly make a big difference

“Buttertubs” sounds like a nickname for a Leeds market regular.

Yeah, there's a few that'd fit!

Old Toffee Wings with Dad's favorite pipe. He chewed through the bit and replaced it as best he could sometime before my memory starts.

Real lambs.



Real lambfoot.


When sharpening the blade at a more acute angle than it came with i noticed the primary bevels were wavy ground. I've had to flatten them before i get a sharp edge with a finish at 10 000 grit. Now it cuts.

I have a couple of my Grandpa's pipes. The smell of them brings back great memories .

Now, there is a place I would enjoy roaming Jack.
Hope your week is a good one , starting with wee staggy in your pocket.

 

[kwackster]

Taylor's Eye Witness lambsfoot with U-shaped steel frame and black plastic outer shell handle.
Strong yet very lightweight (just under 52 grams)
No bladeplay and good walk & talk.
Just finished hand regrinding the blade to a shallow convex shape @ ~22.5 degrees degrees inclusive, then applied a microbevel @ 30 degrees inclusive on the Sharpmaker white sticks.
Don't know the timeframe these were made.

 

[Rufus1949]

One I have been hunting..buffalo.

 

[Angry Waiter]

Coming along nicely…

 

[unclekurty]

I’m enjoying the knives here this morning. Since it’s Monday I thought I’d grab this one for today and take a picture showing off the micarta.

Love to see the wee lambs IRL

I’m right with you there!

All the weekend talk about hot sauce must have put something into the airwaves. I was coincidentally making sweet hot chipotle sauce. Here’s the final result with my Twisted micarta:

Stunning Bob! I really like the endcap.

I've had this Charlie lamb in my pocket all month.
