Yes, I did dye this one recently. I added orange trying for a burnt orange color. Here is what it looked like from GEC.

Definitely. :thumbsup: I have to be careful, any time I see a bluegrass band live (or any band with a stand up bass), I find myself shopping around for one over the following weeks. I’ve always wanted one, and I think I could pick it up easy enough, but I’m pretty the wife would prefer if I just stuck to bass guitar. 😁



Nice couple of knives, Jeff, and nice Ovation! I had a friend in high school whose dad had one that I used to play pretty regularly.



I found a fixed blade and sheath from one of those Imperial combos in my great-grandmother’s tackle box years ago (although the handle on the fixed blade was just black plastic). I’m sure she had the folder at some point, too, since the sheath had the space for it, but it wasn’t with the knife I found. I ended up picking up a Kamp King at an antique shop to pair with the knife and sheath I’d found.

Quite a tale, Dan! Glad the cop didn’t take the other guy’s word and try to pin the robbery on you — that would’ve put a bit of a damper on the wedding! 🤣



Beautiful photo! 😎

I’ve had these two in my pocket most of the week, Cosimo Lunar Lamb and the Riverbottom Richlite #81. The wife’s been traveling for work, so it’s just been me and the two hooligans — no time to change knives! 🤣

Just skip a couple of GEC drops, and you'll be able to afford a bluegrass stand up bass! 😀

About 20 or 25 years ago, I needed an electric/acoustic for church. My guitar trading buddy had snagged this 1985 Collectors Edition Ovation, but I had no suitable trade bait. So I sold an old 3 1/2" Smith&Wesson Model 27 (which I wish I still had) to get the $.
But I've gotten a lot more use out of that guitar than I ever would have out of that revolver. Love this guitar.

Like a lot of us, I also had the Official Boy Scout knives. Mine were both Imperial, and the sheath knife had those jigged black plastic scales. Which I chipped trying to throw it like Tanto. Never saw it after going off to UI. Two younger brothers...

Robeson and 71 Soldier.
These pepper volunteers growing in the pot on the deck are indeed cayenne, as I'd hoped. I string them up with needle and thread to dry, and use them in cooking. Or not. Depends on if I'm cooking for just myself or all three of us. Poblano is only mildly hot that the girls can tolerate.
