Wooden Wednesday - Traditionals only please

[pmek5]

I actually thought to take a pic before I left the house today...

"Whittlin" wooden Wednesday

Nice Grinling!

I've moved the post that I mistakenly put in this thread over to the Totin' Today thread where I intended it to go.

Sorry for my confusion; I hope I didn't infect anyone else with it!

Nice, Ron!! Is the ebony 73 new-to-you? I certainly remember your OO 73, but not this ebony. What a wondrous wooden Wednesday notable pair those two knives would make!!


Texas Jack (and dog) is lookin' great, Bill!


Magnificent, majestic, marvelous knife!! You keep posting it, and I'll keep admiring it!


Rousing Remington scout, Leslie! (I sure like the pond that shows up in many of your photos. )


Congrats on promoting your Bull Nose to a user, Barrett!
So you're finding they use more road salt in MN than in AZ??


Notable pair of 77 Barlows, Harry! I had forgotten about the brown sawcut you have; you also have a red sawcut Northfield Barlow too, right?


Fabulous job of lamb-inating that Navy knife, TK!!


Welcome to The Porch!! Fine pic of a killer knife!





Primo pairs, Jake(x2) & Jeff & Ron! (Jeff, I see that the knife from you has been delivered to my campus mail services building, so I'm hoping I'll get it in the afternoon mail! Thanks!)


Very cool, Ace!! IMHO, the Texas Jack pen blade "makes" the knife!


Cool couple of Camilluses, deltaboy! Is the one on the left a 21?


I enjoy reading your thoughts on knives, Stuart! Thanks for the positive comments on the ones I posted; RR's gunstock checked bone is incredibly attractive IMHO. I think I'm attracted to almost any regular, geometric cover pattern: e.g., Victorinox Alox and checkered wood, bone (including some recent GEC #78s), ivory.


Thanks, @Anothername !


Those pancake races must have been thrill-a-minute competitions (that put old-time wrestling to shame)! Your opinion on romance, Valentine's Day, and Pancake Day seems like it has the potential to have resulted in some negative repercussions over time! Kid care definitely requires lots of energy; I still volunteer in my church's nursery once or twice a month, but I make sure that I serve in the room with the youngest kids, most of whom can't walk yet; I'm much more confident in my ability to keep up with children with limited mobility!
I'm always a fan of Jack Black's Dual Black Jacks Days!


That's a pretty pair of pen knives, r8shell!! Someday you should post a trio that also includes your red White Owl (or maybe you should find an ebony White Owl )!


That's a distinguished duo, Shawn!!



Congrats on a quality quintet, Aaron!! Five fantastic knives! Which of the trappers do you prefer, the 1-blade or the 2-blade?

My Alox Knife for this week is a black Pioneer:

My non-Alox SAK of the Week is a Pocket Pal:

My bailed non-SAK of the Week is a Kutmaster Girl Scout knife:

Thanks for the kind words on my 77 Barlows GT .
I actually have 2 if the 77 Barlows with Red Sawcut Bone and one 25 Barlow with the Red Sawcut Bone .
Take care my friend . You are probably counting the days now ??????

Thanks, GT! Love the shield on that GS Camp Knife. That's an interesting slip for your Pioneer. Is there a story behind it?

 

[rarreola]

Remington with custom wood covers.

Nice, Ron!! Is the ebony 73 new-to-you? I certainly remember your OO 73, but not this ebony. What a wondrous wooden Wednesday notable pair those two knives would make!!

Thanks for the compliment on my Ebony 73 and my Wednesday pairing as well! The Ebony 73 is from the 2013 run the OO 73 is from the 2015 run. I bought the OO first in 2015 then I also bought the Ebony later that year if my memory serves me correctly! I got them both on the exchange. Next Wednesday I'll post a duo!

Thanks, GT. Since we are on the "Wooden Wednesday - Traditionals only please" thread (of which I was oddly, but obviously oblivious), I will post some traditional wood-handled coke bottle hunters.

I knew you had red sawcut 25 and 77, but wasn't sure about a 2nd red sawcut 77. Thanks for the correct info, Harry!
I'm not exactly counting the days (assuming you mean until my retirement), but I'm certainly aware that some things I'm doing for the final time. I'll miss some of those things/people a lot , and others I'm very thankful to be done with.

Thanks, GT! Love the shield on that GS Camp Knife. That's an interesting slip for your Pioneer. Is there a story behind it?

Thanks, Shawn. That slip is part of the webbing from an old baseball glove. I was tearing the glove apart with the thought of repurposing some of the leather to try my hand at making a strop and/or a sheath or two. I realized that a "cross piece" in the webbing was really a piece of leather folded and sewn, and all I needed to do was remove some stitches to get a nice slip for relatively long knives. I also punched a couple of holes near the top and put some leather lacing through, and now I can wear it like one of @Horsewright 's "Buckaroo" sheaths.

Thanks for the compliment on my Ebony 73 and my Wednesday pairing as well! The Ebony 73 is from the 2013 run the OO 73 is from the 2015 run. I bought the OO first in 2015 then I also bought the Ebony later that year if my memory serves me correctly! I got them both on the exchange. Next Wednesday I'll post a duo!

Thanks for the history, Ron! Looking forward to the "notable pair".

Phenomenal quintet of coke bottles, Stuart!
You weren't the only one oddly but obviously oblivious (very cool phrase, BTW ) of being in the Wooden Wednesday thread! I had no intention of posting my comments on a bunch of posts from the Totin' Today thread here, yet somehow it happened! I think I've got everything located properly now.

Here's some wood from my kitchen counter:

[Will Power]

Will Power That's a stunning piece of wood. Is it walnut?

@joeradza Alan, that is a mesmerizing piece of burl. I love finding "faces" in wood grain, and I can see quite an angry fellow in your piece.

My Osage handled @JK Knives Bluegill is absolutely singing in this sunlight.

Good gear that Osage!

My knife is not Walnut but Red Maple Burl, or so says the BRKT box

Thanks, Will

 

[Dschal]

Wooden Wednesday. Schrade.

 

[5K Qs]

NICE!! That's a beautifully-aged knife, Dschal!

[Travman]

Booted and Osage Orange

 

[Jak3]

Nothing has been able to boot this from my pocket since I got it. However I am eager to try out the new #77 Barlows when they release. Absolutely fantastic knives recently. Great pictures all around!

 

[Carboniferous]

Used my Opinel to prep and extract some roasted garlic:

Fantastic lineup, Stuart! Are they cocobolo or ebony, or a mix of both?
