Yeah .. Hiking Buddy. That Orange Shadetree is obsolete stuff now. Ken was able to piece some scraps together w/bolsters.

Gonna be a stunner for sure.

It's a cool one. I really wish Shadetree would make that orange again.
 
Bushcrafter jr & awesome

I have no idea... I just make them look pretty :)

Maybe wenge on the top one... The labels have been ground off by the time I see them
 
Mist .. they're both BC Jrs .. I put one in a group pic just below a regular BC. Wood is Lacewood (I think) and Curly Oak.

Definitely but pretty sure I saw fod mention something about it being obsolete now and he cant make it any longer.
 
:thumbup:Nice batch, thanks for sharing Bud. I like the Runt with what looks like some type of brown wood and a black bolster, pictured next to the crimson one with a bolster.

Addendum: Actually, I think it's some sort of micarta, maybe Terracotta?:confused:

Is it Electric Orange (no longer made because there isn't any more of the burlap to be bought) or is it the new Tangerine?

Thanks guys. Man I love the looks of the wooden handles...I should still stick with synthetics I think for the purpose I have in mind for this one. Ideally I'd love to duplicate the handle on the full sized one I had and had to sell. But since I have spent the better part of two years trying to talk Andy into making the BC Jr. The first one to sit still too long in a Friday post will get snagged by me :)
 
If ken made it work with bolsters
It's a good possibility that it has been resting in the scrap bin for awhile

Hey wait, what's the prance bolstered one Bud? Looks like a hiking buddy but smaller.

I think that is the new ss minnow

The orange burlap is the new tangerine.

The woods in question are lacewood on the top and ash on the bottom, 99% sure.
 
Here's the pics of the scales from last week ..
