Carried these 3 with me this morning to take Nancy to work and then checked on the Car on The Lake.

A new peanut arrived yesterday and is in the pocket today.:)

It has very translucent green dyed, curly maple scales that are incredible to see if you let the sun play back and forth through them.

Thank you GT. That muskrat of yours has a main that appears to be a decendant of my old NYKC Trapper's main. ;):thumbup::)

Thank you sir, lovely Whittler :thumbup: I spent the day traipsing round Sheffield, trying to track down the remains of old crucible steel works and cementation furnaces, which are usually little more than a charred wall or a pile of bricks, and am still exhausted! :D

Looks good :) :thumbup:

Strictly Sheffield today! :D A TEW-made Lambsfoot, and my IXL Serpentine Jack sitting in front of the last intact steel cementation furnace in Britain (there were once more than 150 in Sheffield alone) :thumbup:

Thank you Mr. Jack ! That Lambsfoot has a nice full blade and the Serpentine Jack is a lovely. :thumbup::)

Wondering what you are up to trying to run down the historical furnace parts !???? :confused::confused:

Interesting - those old cementation furnaces ! ;):)

Rob, I really like the forged curl on the back of your new addition and the leather wrap is really cool!
(edited to add, after looking at their website...it got me drooling for a custom axe!!!)

Thank you Jake. Don't spend too much time on that site or you will end up like me and Marko. :thumbup::D

Another fantastic contrasting pair, Tom! :cool: Is the Russell Premium Scout a little smaller than a "standard" camp knife?

It is 3.5 inches long GT, so pretty standard length. It feels a little wider than others so maybe it appears shorter. Wait, are you calling my knife fat? ;) :)


I finally remembered to carry something for Wooden Wednesday. The scout is a Winchester in french ivory.

Carrying my Case-Bose Lockback Wharncliffe Whittler today. The miniature anvil and tongues in the picture were made by my Father in Law, as a toy or keepsake for my wife and her sister, sometime in the late 1940s. He was a Blacksmith on the New York Central Railroad. They were charged with making all the tools required for maintenance of the rails etc. We've got a few of the old tools he forged and handled.

That anvil from your FIL is great! The Case-Bose isn't bad, either...
 
Nice! Anvil, tongs and knife!
I have a pair of my grandpa's tongs from when he worked in the copper mines in NM. They are rather large, but I still use them to hold RR spikes.
Thanks for posting the pic!

Very nice Gary, my dad was in a railway battalion in the CBI theater during WW II. He was from Georgia, but most of the men were NYC railroaders. I have a Lionel NYC streamliner he bought from Madison Harware in 1935.

That Barlow is incredible. I love the bolster stamp.

Family treasures are the best, and that is one sharp looking whittler

Managed to lose this before somehow! :rolleyes: Great to see the anvil and tongues, and hear the story behind it Gary. Great-looking Whittler too :thumbup:
