Charlie John posted these Remingtons and you referred to one of them as "wane bone". What is wane bone and which one of them is it?View attachment 2079592

On the upper right, Dwight!! When you saw a 2x4 from rough lumber, and the dimensions are not quite filled out to 2 or 4 inches, you are observing "wane"!!
The dimension dwindles away!!
When it's in the middle we call it pith or core (or soup!! ha ha).
When it's at the edge, we call it wane!!
Capisce??

I found this over on another site. I hope it's okay to post this reference here. The link referenced did not work.

Yes, that link has a overview of the Buck marked Barlow info. We must be precise in the answer to MudTrappers question "Did BUCK ever make a Barlow." They were in fact made by Camillus, via special order to be sold by Smokey Mountain Knife Works with Buck on the bolsters. Notice none had model numbers stamped on the tangs. Camillus would make them ship them to Buck and Buck would re-box them and send them to SMKWs. Only sold a short time and not many were made. Check out the link for more details and photos of all of them. Camillus had some close copies of this design they sold with their own markings. And more than likely some other peoples markings as well. I think I am pretty close with my best guess of 1,000 each or less were made. But, I have a hunch much less than that of the jigged bone were made.
