Thank you kindly my friends

 

[Jack Black]

Hope you and your HHB have a fantastic day, Jack.

Going with an old favorite today, I'll just be staying home today and it will be keeping me company.

Thank you very much John, it's good to see that one again GEC never seem to have any trouble getting nice, dark Ebony or African Blackwood

I wonder if it's due to England's great history with the High Seas? They are awesome for knots on both land and sea!

I don't know my friend, it's certainly a very long tradition

Your Higonakami looks like a folding razor, quite a sharp partner for your Hartshead beauty!

Many thanks JJ, made a nice change

I should learn how to tie my own flies some day... I keep telling myself that.

I really enjoyed it as a teenager, not sure I have the eyesight for it now!

Thanks, Jack.
The Ebony is actually a re-cover by Glenn.

not sure I have the eyesight for it now!

I'd need a ridiculously big magnifier.

Tossed these two in my pocket for my Tuesday totes.

Another one I picked up in Titusville last weekend.

Those are soo nice

Noted!

I have failed at “Safe Queening” a couple of times. I don’t try it anymore. But this bullnose is certainly destined for a life of hard work and honest patina. I’ll keep it relatively nice because it’s destined to be passed down to my boy Sam. He already has his eye on it. I call him my “Bull”, so he’s already claimed it!

I wish I had more of that spalted oak or I’d send you a hunk. I used it up on all kinds of projects. Amazing when you find a log that has started to rot perfectly but is still solid. Nature blows my mind.

I know you would, Jon, but I have more wood than time!

Grandkids are here today. I'll sleep well tonight!
Boker on call for opening snack packs and other grandfatherly tasks.

My three Georgia peaches are here for a couple of weeks~ fun!
These are my late son’s girls, and they are just great. But at 9,14, and 15, I doubt they’re as exhausing as yours!

And ya know Douk-Douks are a little ugly.

Couple of beauties there Pt!

I'd need a ridiculously big magnifier.

The glasses I wear when I’m tying are 3X, when I look away from the vice I can’t see anything!

Gorgeous morning, cool, low humidity, slight breeze, tying some flies on the dock and listening to the fish work the surface. Probably have to try and catch one soon!View attachment 1583291

I enjoy fly fishing but did not get into tying my own flies. Hope you catch your limit. Awesome knives

Thank you very much, Todd.

I am still toting my newest acquisition that arrived last week. Recently made knife sporting a 1970's made carbon steel blade. I dubbed it 'Rodgers Stock Barlowman'.

I could possibly see a Porch Members Fly Fishing Gathering in the future... maybe in Montana.
