Black Cherry like your 14 TC
Evergreen like your 15 TC in pick bone (nice dark green)
Brown - Saddle Brown like your older 15 TC (That was very nicely done)
Red - like the Blood Red they did on the 38 Grinling. Completely dark blood red & no pink.
Dusk Blue like the 38 Chapman Pruner (Best Dark blue GEC has done IMHO).
Just my 2¢. I know GEC knows how to still do these amazing colors.
 
waynorth waynorth Charlie, I was wanting Chestnut or anything Brown but Black Cherry really sounds like a good choice :thumbsup: and Dark Green will also work :thumbsup:
I don't have a Black Cherry knife to show, here's a pick of Evergreen Pick Bone, my wife is convinced it's black but it's not, it's dark green, can't wait for the poll

waynorth waynorth wondering if you kicked around offering options for the type of sawcut.. wane, no wane, etc. If anything, it gives us another poll to pick on each other till this fall 😁

Well, I think that's a bit "picky" for Bill! If we start after every little detail, he will probably tell us where to go!! I think the color is going to be pretty exciting though!!
I am going to ask everyone to post an example of their chosen color if possible!!

I met some great folks as well including @mrknife and of course AnW AnW . Looked at and talked about some great knives. It’s definitely a fun time. I was hoping for a little more going on in the shop than there was but it’s certainly understandable that there wasn’t you could watch most of the finishing steps though that were going on on the 2nd/main floor. If I were less tired or staying overnight I would definitely stay longer probably stay for the second day and the picnic as well. I think people should at least try to go once. The two 86 sfa’s were sold out until tomorrow unfortunately so I got the 33 that AnW mentioned and a 62 sofa as well. I picked up a blade key also. At one of the tables outside I got a micarta 86 before I left. Both the sfa’s are northfield but the 62 has a tidioute tube for some reason. Not sure if they all did or not but it is what she grabbed it out of so I don’t think there was a mix up at least not at the counter. My drive was only 2 1/2 hours so I’ve got pics.

I like both of them a lot. The black and white acrylic is nice, guess this would the grits with butter and molasses acrylic, without the brass showing through.
 
So is that ivory bone on the choices actually ivory or as in ivory- the color. But undyed (white) is also listed.
