Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[dc50]

I love the almost purple undertones in that Rosewood, Dave. Very nice picture.

Thank you, Dylan, I'm still using your amazing photos on my desktop

 

[Half/Stop]

I love seeing that one, Ron, it has such perfect feathering.

Thank you Dylan!

Forgot to include my Lambsfoot for the day. I am in a bit of a mood for Stag so the AC is my pick for the day. I had to hastily snap a pic though as it is starting to rain again.

Really cool pic Dylan

or Reclaimed wood from old buildings in Sheffield. It might be kinda cool to have a historic wood

Maybe I can even have a bit of Arthur Wright's! They still have 3-legged cutler's stools, more than 100 years old, but I wouldn't want to saw those up

They have just demolished a load more old cutlery works, I should have just helped myself to the skips (dumpsters) in the street!

 

[WDJ]

Or Yew?

Yew is good. It is becoming quite a long list!

 

[Jack Black]

I know I have seen Lignum Vitae before but I had to go and look it up. It is a very pretty wood, not flashy like Ironwood, but deep and sensible all the same.

I am active in more than a few areas of the forum here and I am engaged in work and such so sometimes it can be a bit of a task getting caught up some days. It is usually worth the effort though. The content and people in this thread are matchless.

Incredibly hard wood Dylan Stan Shaw sometimes uses it

That's for sure, Looking at the reclaimed wood Sheffield, there seem to be a few dealers in historic woods.
What got me thinking about using historic wood was years ago they demolished the original Jasper Park Lodge a small woodworking company made tables chairs and jewelry boxes etc. We purchased a wood bowl it ads a little something extra knowing the history.

The lignun vitae I have seen is not the nicest of grained wood. Very dense it is though. I believe it is used to make windy day bails for cricket stumps (apologies if you American chaps have no idea what I am talking about!) They are so heavy that the wind can't blow them off. I once read that Queen Elizabeth I had a set of false teeth made from it!

I carry a lambsfoot...

...because I would have wood on my steel and iron in my wood.

Wouldn't you?

Might have to be made from the barrel ends as the staves are bent

Perhaps. I guess it would depend on what size cask/barrel we're talking about. If it were large enough (like a barrel used for barrel-aging beer) I think the curve would be very slight when you got down to knife-scale size, with enough thickness to flatten them out. A smaller cask might not work as well. (The might be a dumb questions, but do they even use wood casks for storing/serving "cask ale"/real ale? Aren't the "casks" metal nowadays?)

GEC did a run of Beer Scouts in "Beer Barrel Oak" from an aging barrel. I'm fairly certain they used the staves, though again, it was a large barrel. The staves were flat enough and thick enough that they made separate interior (charred) and exterior pieces.

Very interesting Dave I have a garden bench made, nearly 100 years ago, which is made from teak reclaimed from a British ship which was captured at the Battle of Trafalgar

I did have an ink blotter made from wood reclaimed from Admiral Jellicoe's flagship at the Battle of Jutland - it features in one of my 'Table' threads

I might see if I can get get hold of some reclaimed oak from one of the old Sheffield cutlery factories, there are several currently being gutted and renovated for yuppie apartments.

They used it for submarine propellers I believe.

Very good Vince

Your knife and fungi pictures are always pleasing, Dwight. One of my favorite pastimes is mushroom hunting but I haven't been about it in almost a year. I will have to get after it soon as spring approaches.

Thank you Dylan. I look forward to seeing your photos. Another ethereal back deck shot of your fine AC.

I love the garden bench Jack Black . Did you build it Jack?

Perfect! I did notice one of the purveyors had what looked like a full skid of Oak beams.

The muted colors are gorgeous.

Jack Black Any thought of using reclaimed wood is a great one. The idea of honoring the cutlers, old Sheffield buildings, ale barrels, etc., says so many things on so many levels. I’d wager the repurposed wood would have much character. As for not matching, the Ironwood covers don’t, and each individual’s Lambsfoot is uniquely beautiful.

Prester John Another fine image.

D Dschal Aside from the warm, greatly lit image...So that’s what a Sunny day looks like. It also brings me back to the 1950s and my View-Master.

I thought I'd carry Rosewood today This is one of a short run of 10 Wright's made for me last year, with polished blades

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start

Nice photo! And no doubt that Rosie is cream of the crop!

Today I’m going to have one of my 2017 Horn models in my pocket! Hope y’all have a great day!

Lovely horn and great choice for background!

Love your Rosewood Jack.

Another great pic, Dave!
Growing up, I was a serious rock hound! Plus my dad was a miner, so he'd bring me home some great rocks!

Their factories.

I'm a basic member ($10). If I have pm capacity I haven't found it.

Too much work.
I think I'm out of new pictures.

Cleared snow again yesterday. It isn't fun anymore, even with my new shovel.

The snow may be ugly, but a great backdrop for the great looking Lamb!

Great horn posted today fellows!

Beautiful photo, even if it's unknown background! Great eye!

Did somebody say Serenity? Good Morning Guardians.

Ahh! Cool photo! Is she (the Lamb) named Inara ?

Loading dock is appropriate for such a rugged looking fella!

Said rosewood.

Very nice! She's on a pedestal!

Have a terrific Tuesday Guardians, Rosie and I are off to run errands...not going to take the time to catch up...probably never will get caught up. This is such a great thread with the conversation, pictures and information. I enjoy it immensely!

Purdy shot of the pair of lambs!

This one’s recycled from Barrett’s Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery GAW thread:

Wow! What a dandy old fellow! I tip my hat!

Today, it's me and Emmylou - even though it's 31 degrees F
Pretty sure she's Rosewood but like other things, the memory gets shorter as I get older

Emmylou! They named a singer after her!
Seems like a perfect song for her:

Oh! Jack, if you could source the slabs from reclaimed ale casks, we could have a REAL ALE REAL LAMBSFOOT. I would so love to have one of those.

Very good idea, but the blade would have to double in length to get the whole name!

Spending time at the in-law’s house.

Perfect setting! Get any fishing in?

Just another wonder you pulled out of your sleeve

I carry a lambsfoot...

Wouldn't you?

That Iron and Wood is glowing Good!!

Mine today as I'm sitting at the G.I. Dr. oops. Gloomy day, Gloomy Drs office, gloomy photo, but love carrying this one, and appropriate for a Drs visit...

Jack, congrats on 700 and counting!

 

[screened porch]

Nice stick, mitch4ging .

 

[JohnDF]

Is she (the Lamb) named Inara ?

Given that she (the Lambsfoot) is a red head, probably more of a Kaylee

 

[JohnDF]

Absolutely beautiful day outside, spending some time with my Lambsfoot...
