Brad, Paul, Sjostygg, and Drew - Thanks so much for the compliments on the FB Barlow.
It was pouring rain when I took a picture last night, so I took this one this morning.

Sjostygg - I used Fiebings dye on the stag. I mixed Mahogany and Light Brown to get the color I liked.

Wow!!! Mark my friend - that is simply a fantastic knife - I love the colour that you did that Stag - and pretty much the rest of the whole knife!!!!! You are a VERY clever guy matey!!! :thumbup:

Thank you guys for the compliments. The pictures are fun to take, I am always floored by the photography skills displayed here. Case in point Perry's pics above. Flat out impressive. Not to mention drool worthy knives.

Paul, thank you! I am no where near the level of Perry and Primble and many others here but it's an honor just to rub elbows with everyone. I respect all of you very much.:thumbup:

It's pretty addictive isn't it Drew? But in a fun way. :thumbup:

What a beautiful brace of barlows, Drew; congrats for sure!! :thumbup::thumbup: As Paul also noted, the photos are first-rate, too; I dream that some day I'll figure out how to take such clean, well-lit, clearly focused shots! Nice!!

Speaking of phabulous photos, what have you done, Perry?? The last couple of weeks (or has it been a month already) your photos suddenly made a quantum leap forward in quality! :thumbup::thumbup: What's your secret, man?? Inquiring minds want to know. Anyway, really quality quartet of knives you have there, and the pics really show them off!

I like the tie in of boys to men's Barlow knives and the photographic symmetry of tops to pipes. Classics across generations. Nice work Perry. :thumbup:

 

[singin50]

Well thanks fellas! I'm blushin a bit now. I gotta tell ya GT, I used to know how to take pictures a certain way, like these now, but I got away from it for so long that I nearly forgot all the factors that play in taking a decent shot. The two main factors are usually lighting and focus related. Thanks Bob for picking up that little tie in.

Love the photos and the knives, Perry. The pipe reminds me of Matt Damon smoking a meerschaum in True Grit. I'll bet Ranger LaBouef had one of those good, traditional Barlows in his pocket!
