For whatever reason(be nice) I am now able to post in multiplies so....
My flock continues to grow, with the entry of "19"...
Nice threesome there, I like that greenish jigged bone!
Ari said to say Hello...

Indeed! I hate trying to catch up, and while I'm composing my "catch up post", I'm already 15 more behind!
Certainly a fast moving flock!
Lucy certainly is photogenic!
Thank EWE, Jack!
Thanks, Preston!
A little bit less nefarious than Jim's!
Thank you very much, Dwight!
Thanks John, I appreciate it!
Here-here!
.....
......with this sort of great attitude and generosity!
Hello, Ari! Henry says hello back!
Dutch says hello.
And you would get to work on projects like Ö
tzi!

Have a great Sunday, Guardians!
Great coloring on that one Vince.
Great pictures of Ireland you posted there. I think Ireland is where Hollywood chooses to go when they need a location for empty and mystic moorland.
Really interesting to see the funeral photo to; your great great grandfather must of had quite the family
Thanks, it was a gift to my great-aunt from a Dutch sea captain, who lodged with the family in Liverpool during WWII.
Pt, good looking grain on that.
And with the sunnier weather it's nice to see more pictures highlighting the grain in the ironwoods folks
Black Jack is looking mighty fine there
You know what, it wasn't included there but I did once read why Stephenson named it "Rocket" but now I can't remember where I read that
. It was though, apparently the first land vehicle in the world to move faster than a horse. (It could make 35mph).
That's great! Certainly looks the part
Ahhh...technology that doesn't take 5 minutes to start up, update, download and think about something....usually with a little blue circle going round and round and round and round and.....
Fantastic!! Thanks for posting that
Thanks Dennis! A chilli festival sounds awesome! I'm not a spicy food person myself but I bet something like that would cure the stonking head cold I've picked up in work.
Hope you feel better yourself!
Dave I love the little pictures and cartoons you post. I don't know where you find them but there hilarious
What a great shot! This is a moon shot I caught a mid-winter sometime.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday.
You know where my mind is going with these moon shots
Fine-looking threesome my friend
Thank you Dennis
Thanks Mark, I'm surprised, I actually thought Lucy's 'wounds' might cause a few folks to complain...
The ones I really liked were the ones with black vine-like ropes of black running through brown wood, which a few members have, and I also like those two-tone covers we have seen from the second run
I have definitely warmed to Lucy though
Enticing review John, and a great pic
You too Vince
Morning Guardians, I hope everyone is having a good weekend
Looks like a sunny day here, and I am taking my best pal and his missus and 3 kids out for Sunday lunch after a walk on Ilkley Moor. Should be a good day
Have a great Sunday folks
Like Lucy, I took my AC out of the bunch because of a flaw, the point of the blade sits slightly proud. However, I had intended to put this right, but have been so busy I haven't had time, and really, it doesn't bother me
My Sunday choice
I would think of them as beauty marks and individual characteristics not flaws!
A little sunshine in Manchester this morning and the first time it has been sunny with my ironwood lamb in my pocket, so I thought I would get a shot to show the grain gleaming. The longer I look at the knife the better it gets.

Ahhh, sunshine and Ironwood, dorsn't get much better than that!
Thank you David. That is a beautiful and wintry for sure moon shot. Don't work too hard today.
Oh no. Love Lucy's fang marks.
Absolutely gorgeous grain glory.
Headed to the grandkids down south today. Y'all have a great Sunday! Another moon shot.

I know you will have a great day with your grand kids. i'll have to do something about these moon shorts...within in the limits of family o
Good morning Wayne. Same bright sun on this side of the Atlantic and unless I'm seeing things my ironwood is the matching piece to yours. Mine on the left yours on the right from your just posted photo.

That is a cool discovery and well pictured!
I think the first 6 or 7 of the posts quoted below are relatively old and I neglected to respond to them during the winter of my discontent!
Thanks, Dennis.
Reflection from black marble and then I turned the photo 90°.
Thanks for a "peek behind the curtain", Alan!
Thanks, Dwight. Your advice is good, but I'm having difficulty making the adjustment.
Thanks, FBC.
I didn't want to wait 5 months to carry Valley Jack when the current schedule runs out!
Thanks for the advice, Jack, but so far an excess of spare time has not been a problem I've had to face!
Thanks also for your experience-based opinions on carborundum stones.
David, I hope this photo of the pile side grain on my ironwood lambsfoot shows the "valley" I named the knife after:

Thanks, John.
Thanks for the kind words (and multi-quote prowess), Vince.
A face-first bike crash would be no picnic, I'll bet!
My brain must be permanently frozen: rockets for fireworks have a LONG history, as you (and Jack, below) pointed out and I apparently couldn't recall!
Thanks, Jack.
Thanks, Taylor.
I consider that quite a compliment, coming from you, who seems to have a patina in two days that takes me two months to get!
Congrats, Senhor José!! That lambsfoot has glorious grain in its handles!
Thanks from both me and Black Jack for the kind remark, Preston.
I was poking around the internet the other day looking at various recordings of "Shady Grove". Although most have quite similar chorus/refrain, there's a wide variety of verses that performers have used! I thought lyrics in one verse of a Doc Watson rendition were especially relevant for this thread:
When I was a little boy
I wanted a Lambsfoot knife
And now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife
(I took "poetic license" and changed "Barlow" to "Lambsfoot" in the second line.
)
Thanks, Dwight; good to be heard from!
Fantastic photo of Lucy, Jack; she's looking lovely, lucid, and a little lascivious!
Pitch-perfect pic, John. I think I know that song:
parsley, sage, rosemary, and Sköll.
Stellar stag, Ron!!
(Best of luck to your Vols today, although I have Iowa in my "prediction contest".
)
Mark, I think this is my favorite "pose" for a knife photo, especially if it's a single blade knife.
Almost every pic I've taken this way has turned out well, and I have to remind myself not to use it for every pic of every knife!
Yours here is awesome!
Nice patina on your ironwood, Joshua!
Any special uses that were major contributors to its formation?
Great pic, FBC!
I'm convinced that there's WAY more activity on The Porch than there used to be.
Thanks for the Black Jack compliment, for the info about the Rocket name, and for the moonlit vista, David!
One last pic of Black Jack before his week in my pocket ends:

Gary, you sure have a couple of handsome Lamb Foot, Black Jack looks to have had added patina from the week.
