My Hemlock 66. Photo taken 10 minutes ago.

Looks brown to me....that's gonna look awesome in sawcut. You don't want copperhead, it will turn out yellow.

What about half hemlock, half copperhead? Everyone order 2 and get one of each? It's a set.

“...and as we hit the far straightaway Hemlock is still out front looking full of wind, while Copperhead is gaining ground...and the long shot Tan seems to be having some trouble with his rider out of the gate trailing far far behind...and exciting day here folks...who will it be? A child weeps in the stands in grief as he put his two dollar allowance on Chestnut...it’s sometimes a tough day here at the Cutting Edge racetrack folks...”

May or may not help. None of us has a sawcut hemlock to show off. Soooo, lets look at a saw cut Copperhead, Jigged Copperhead, Jigged Hemlock, and imagine what a saw cut hemlock could look like:

Talk umamongst yourselves.

That hemlock looks interesting, but when I saw this pic of the copperhead its all stop. This is the one
I think any of the selections will be fine. Most likely more than fine

Hemlock red green would such a crazy outcome after red and green were out polled, it is hard to cogitate.

I think chestnut or copperhead would look much better with saw cut finish.

Muddle redplusgreen makes brown??? How can this be #1?

What color do you think Hemlock Green actually is? Asking for science. Think "is the dress blue or is it gold".

The biggest challenge for us folks who are backing Hemlock is the fact that we have no sawcut examples to draw our conclusions from. We might think it would look terrific but we can't know for sure - one equally cannot assert that it won't look good either.

I am on the side of adventure. (I'm also on the side that is not yellow and/or orange )

Each of your color selections are awesome beyond doubt. However, please don’t let your vote go to waste when Copperhead is the only member of the family that has a chance of winning. All of these hues look great. No guessing and hoping necessary. And whoever doesn’t think Sawcut Copperhead is rare and unusual need only go try to buy one to see how wrong they are. I doubt the handful of people lucky enough to own such a Barlow would let it go.

In real life Hemlock is pretty much plain brown. It is a mixture of red and green. You would have to hope that the finishing process yields some color or you end up with something that looks very much like Sawcut Delrin.

Copperhead was not my first choice. It was Chestnut, but I could see the writing on the wall. Let’s not be reckless with each other’s money on our once in a year chance. It would be a long year of regrets and gnashing of teeth without any guarantee GEC will make our Forum Knife again.

I wish we could do what Jiki suggested and have one of each, but I don’t know if that is possible.

but now hemlock is winning in this poll when it looks red

Trust me... It's Brown.

 

[Pàdruig]

I thought it might be a useful exercise to post examples where the same dye has been used for both sawcut and jigged bone. For example, if you have a knife with copperhead sawcut and copperhead jigged, or antique yellow sawcut and antique yellow jigged, post a side by side comparison picture.

It may not be an exact science but it will give us a bit of informed speculation with regards to an unknown being rendered in Sawcut. Just a thought on my part.

My contribution will be a blood red jigged next to a blood red sawcut.

May or may not help. None of us has a sawcut hemlock to show off. Soooo, lets look at a saw cut Copperhead, Jigged Copperhead, Jigged Hemlock, and imagine what a saw cut hemlock could look like:

Talk umamongst yourselves.

I am going to bring these two posts to the front because I think it an important exercise. Having an idea of how Hemlock might be rendered in sawcut fashion can be obtained by seeing how other dyes have been treated in jigged as well as sawcut form. Speculation, yes, but educated speculation at the very least.

Finally, someone is rallying the troops! I have answered your call, and changed my vote from Sepia to Copperhead.

In the pioneering exploration of the Australian mainland two figures stand out. Hume and Hovell ....Hume as born in Australia. Hovell was a Royal Navy Captain tasked with keeping tabs and reporting back to England on Humes ventures.Hume as a bushman,horseman,communicated with and spoke Aboriginal dialects. He valued local knowledge and used it to explore and open up regions previously untrodden by Europeans.
Hovell ....was a box ticking navy Captain, a naysayer and a defeatist.
Where Hovell demanded turning back , Hume negotiated geographical obstacles. He literally boldly went where no man had gone before. The Hume Highway which is route one between Sydney and Melbourne is named after him.....The Murray River was named by Hume
..The Hume River in honour of his father. It was subsequently renamed The Murray by Hovell in the official report....Murray being a nonentity in the discovery and crossing ,rather a faceless British parliamentarian with whom Hovell was currying favour. It was the true story of Lippy The Lion and Har De Har Har.
So ....are you a pioneering Hume or a pedestrian Hovell ? Is any of this relevant? Probly not but I have to warm my scribing hand up...at the Admirals request. Cheers...

I feel like we are stuck in one of those viral "is the dress blue or is it gold" test situations.

You don’t see what you want… you see what you need.

Talk umamongst yourselves.

I’m a bit vaclempt…
Rhode Island is neither a road, nor an Island… talk amongst yourselves…

The gap is closing! Rally to Copperhead!

ANYTHING BUT HEMLOCK!!

I'm not hip or cool... I have no idea what that stands for.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one - and I am not even that old (I don't think, anyway).
