So it's clear that Osage Orange is grown in Italy... Ignore the lines in the background of the picture.

My first wooden Wednesday post!
This is my favorite at the moment: my SFO 85 EO linerlock in African Blackwood. Sorry for the pic quality; my phone is my only camera.
Thanks!

Nice knife, and a nice shot Baldy - especially for a phone.

I mistakenly went all Horn handles today.. alas.
 
My thanks to Trand for confirming the Osage provenance.. Talking of which, this Viper's a smooth type

Sam, really tasteful wood on that French knife. :cool: A Gilles' effort?

Regards, Will

Aye Will, tis:) It's the second one by him I've had. I gave the first to my dad and hankered after another ever since!

I'm liking your Osage Viper, I think it's my favourite rendition of that pattern. More Osage!!
 
Well, my wooden Wednesday keeps getting better! Just pulled this one out of the mail a little bit ago; a GEC 15 crown lifter. I find the black and tan nature of the ebony quite appropriate for a crown lifter!
These pics are as good as I could do today with the fading light.
Thanks!

Thanks waltmc! As much as I appreciate jet black ebony, I have really enjoyed the variations in color and grain pattern in GEC's ebony stock. Since I seem to be on such a roll today, here is a 15 one arm I picked up a while back in ebony as well. Some are more striking than others, but that to me is half the fun; seeing what shows up!

Memories just came flooding back. I haven't had a pint of Black and Tan for years!

Welcome to the porch. :)
 
Thanks Sam. I wasn't at all sure about the Viper when it first appeared but I find it not as heavy as I feared, wood of this type is less dense I suppose? Never heard of Osage until relatively recently either, but I'd like more.

Gilles and his workers put out an exceptional quality knife and the choice is deeply impressive too.
