What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

Love that photo Barry, fits the blade message very well. The only easy day was yesterday and there's always a new day on the horizon.
 
Another MILESTONE 500 PAGES and accelerating! Congratulations to Charlie and ALL contributors that make this thread the best place on BF!!!

Thanks for pointing out this milestone, Lloyd! I started lurking here around page 100, and spent an enjoyable few days getting caught up on the thread. I finally started posting on page 124. It was this thread that hooked me and got me to become a paid member at bladeforums.

I suppose it marks me as a knife nerd that I enjoy going back and reading old threads from the beginning. It's a great education, and sort of like a virtual museum of cutlery. And it's really nice to just take a seat on the porch and listen to folks talk about knives. A real escape from whatever burdens we have in the world. But my favorite thread for reading and re-reading is What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

Thank you, Charlie. Your Barlows are much more than just knives.
 
;)Gotta do a give-away!! 500 pages - didn't see it coming!! The thread is just always there!!
Coming up soon in a Forum near you!!;)











Also gotta get that BF poll rolling!!:o
 
Can't wait to see the BF Polls Charlie. So many knives and exciting projects it's hard to keep up with all the threads xD
 
Great pictures Barry.

I just paid for my barlows so they should be on the way soon! Too bad I am on a beach vacation from the next week but at least they will be waiting when I get back.
 
Definitely a milestone. A great thread that I've learned a lot from, even though I wasn't participating in the beginning (kicks self in rear).

Thanks to Charlie and all the contributors for a ton of knowledge.

Surprisingly, my first experience with exotic woods (ebony, rosewood, bloodwood, black wood) were all on my various cellos. Cello, violin, viola pegs are all generally made from ebony and the bodies vary. The wood is deep and rich and creates the entire timbre and tone of the instrument. Love the smooth blackwood and how they managed those contours on here.
Your photos are great Barry, keep 'em coming!
