Some look like plastic, but not yours Peter....gorgeous.

Thank you much, Bob!! Pile side is equally as nice and very well matched. I couldn’t be more thrilled with my first Mammoth piece. I got a feeling I won’t be chasing after giraffe bone anymore!

GEC 15 today.

Always enjoy the pics of your rides around the country side and towns. Nice knife.

Seems to me you could grind that into a cute little sheepsfoot blade?

Except the break is already slightly into the nail nick. I'd rather leave it as it is. Especially since my project list always grows faster than my projects accomplished list.

Those tomatoes look beautiful — and, I’m guessing, they actually taste like tomatoes!

They are tasty, and each variety has it’s own flavor. Really digging the Black Russians this year.
The largest ones, Dominico, are stiil green and growing.

Fine pair today, Gary

I know what garden shed I’m going to raid!!!!!

Just bring that nice old rucksack, and I’ll fill it up for ya.
I could use some help What I manage to give away is that much less I have to can!

I am blessed to be able to not only put up enough for us for the year, but also have a lot to share.
I took this tote box, about half full, to church today. Thankfully, they took them all.

Hey~ that Russell Barlow is very knice.

I have been waiting for acorns in order to try to dye bone with some sort of old school method. They just started falling at work. Pretty soon they will be a couple inches deep on the side of the sidewalks. Send your squirrels over here to help clean up!

Acorns are high in tannic acid, so tanning hides with acorns is another old school craft. If you have any black walnuts, they’ll make good yellow/brown dye.
Right out of the Foxfire Books!

Running late today. Can't stay long. Sticking with a Buck 501 Squire in a belt sheath today. No breakfast today - gums swollen and sore - chewing/gumming out of the question. No lunch either - maybe a couple spoon fulls of Jif Creamy peanut butter and let that melt in my mouth. Cindy is preparing a thin soup for me for dinner tonight. She'll include meat, onions, celery, and what not in it but for flavor only for me - no chewing/gumming. Maybe soak some saltine crackers as they pretty much turn to mush once they soak a bit.

Hope you’re feeling better Modoc ED !! Your entertaining posts are the bedrock of the porch!! Hang in there.

Oh that tree has been starting to dump nuts too. Then the critters drag walnuts all over. Nasty black goop in those things!

I did drill a hole in some wood and hammer a few through to dry them out and taste them. I've never done it before and wanted to give it a shot.

The tannic acid in the acorns apparently gets the bone ready for dye. Same as curing leather I suppose. I've made "vinegaroon" to dye the bone. Basically vinegar and iron shavings. Smells nasty but it'll do the trick! Supposedly good for leather and wood too.

Very nice, Peter. Mammoth is beautiful to the eyes but hard on the wallet. I will live vicariously through you my friend.

Going for a walk in the forest, just some hours and need something to cut foodstuff's.

Thanks Jack! That would explain the lack of presence today.

So... Rogers and Wostenholm are just names.... Wrights is not the original company.... What about TEW? Same?

Yes, just names Rick Wright's has changed hands a number of times, but at least it was sold as a cutlery company, rather than someone just buying the name. TEW has an even more convoluted history, involving different partners, and companies merging, but until recently it was still in the original 'Eye Witness Works', and the last I heard, their gaffer was still Alistair Fisher of the Harrison Fisher family. However, their knives have been made all over the place for the past couple of decades, with their entire kitchen range being imported from China.

……….cycling in Portugal through the Douro Valley, knife of choice to assist with whatever chores

Right out of the Foxfire Books!

Jeff, your posts have a way of bringing back good memories. When I was a youngun my grandparents had Foxfire #4 on the table between their recliners. When I would go over, I would read as much as I could in that book. Wonderful memories.
When Grandma passed in 07, I asked about that book. No one knew what happened to it, but my wife overheard my question. That Christmas she had me the full set.
Thank you for the memory
