• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

So I'll be consoling myself with Roast Chestnuts tonight :cool: And I believe this BB split back Whittler will be helping in the prep ;)

Beautiful BB, Will, The chestnuts bring out the hint of brown in the covers.

I figured since it was Wednesday a little Ebony would be appropriate! ;) :D

They would be appropriate (and appreciated) on any day, Ron.

Thanks Stuart, I was wondering what the age was on this one. I thought it was from the fifties being that it is real bone.

It is my understanding that, although Queen started making molds of their Winterbottom covers for use with Delrin in the early 1960s, they did not fully convert from bone handles to Delrin until 1968. So yours is pre-1968, at least. Here's my #10 heavy jack from that same period with a #15 half congress from 1958-1960, both in bone.

I greeted the New Year with optimism and expectation as my son, a buddy, and I sat in our duck blind yesterday morning. We were met with a beautiful sunrise, a fair breeze - and a balmy 60°. We saw ducks loafing in far away coves, but none flying. Still, it was a good morning together and we have a few weeks of duck season left. Deer season ends this weekend, so I may be in abstensia for a few days (depending on the weather). This was the view in the blind yesterday, with my Case 048 slim-line trapper and Daniel Cannady small game knife sitting idle in the background.
