The Pacific Northwest is an unusual place. You would think, being north of the 49th parallel, that winters would be more like Buffalo's. But I have had a vegetable garden planted by the end of February (some years ago), and today is just a gorgeous day.
A nice day to take a walk with a Barlow!!

Snowdrops at the base of an old Cherry tree!

Great pics Charlie :thumbup:

Rain and gloomy skies here :(
 
Weather in Okinawa is nice now. Farmers have their spring gardens all planted with tomatoes already blooming. Your flowers are beautiful Charlie.

Must be a wonderful place to be, Ron!
The Japanese current is partly responsible for our moderate weather! Recent global weather changes have messed with it somewhat, but it still generally comes through for us - all the way across the Pacific!!:eek:

Real nice Barlows, Liam. Thanks for showing them to us!

OK, so I spent the last hour or so starting at page 1. Interesting to revisit---sad to see some members no longer here? Paul Bosley, SHE BOP, others I'll forget to mention---hope they're well?

What a thread, what memories. To say it was fun is an understatement and I only made it to page 70 something?

But Duncan!!! Tell me more of the Spear---the Covers are? Also Paul Bosley showed the elusive Copperhead Bone covers in a Single Spear Version---WOW

I know Duncan is wanting to see pictures of the Spear/Pen in Copperhead Bone also?

OK Duncan your up!!! Please tell me the covers on this GORGEOUS Spear:thumbup:

For your very kind comments.

Isnt it just an amazing Thread!, Another thing to note to, when you go through this Thread - just look at how many people Charlie has helped out by gifting SO MANY of these wonderful knives!:eek: CC has started something huge here - not only because of Bills amazing cutlery skills - and with Charlies passion and knowledge - but because Charlie is the person he is - That Walnut is pretty darned special stuff to us because of that:thumbup:

Paul, Antique Yellow Saw Cut Spear my friend :thumbup:

Wow - page 70!:eek: I gotta try and do that sometime - but thats just it....time:grumpy:! I cant seem to bottle enough of that stuff lately.

Wonderful Thread, Wonderful knives, Wonderful people involved with them :)

So funny, I was going backwards on this thread and decided to start from the beginning and was on page 144 when I saw Paul's comment. Duncan said it best, "Wonderful Thread, Wonderful knives, Wonderful people involved with them" Sorry if I muddied up the thread, but I really get a sense of the history here and wish I would have been a part of it, great stuff everyone.
