Wooden Wednesday - Traditionals only please

[bigfish64]

Todd, I saw that wood Böker canoe in the Totin' Today thread and it really made me sit up and pay attention; congrats on a compelling canoe! Is that an old Beer Barrel model or one of the more recent wood versions (Castleburg or something)?

Thanks Gary. It’s one of the old beer barrel models. In fact I went looking for it after seeing the one you posted a week or so ago. Didn’t know if there would be any still around, but I found one. It’s such a solid knife and I love the look of the wood Boker uses.

That's very cool, Todd! You're building quite an impressive Böker brigade!
Glad you could locate a beer barrel canoe. I've been looking around, on and off, for quite a while for a beer barrel whittler to get as a memorial for a Dutch BF friend who died far too young and used to often carry a beautiful Böker beer barrel whittler. But I haven't had any luck so far (my underdeveloped Google skills may also be a contributing factor ).

Thanks Gary, I’ll keep my eyes and ears open for a BBW.

Impressive pile of wood Gary.

Love that knife James, it’s so classy. I have one but I just can’t bring myself to get it dirty…yet.

Thanks Todd. Classy like stainless steel wearing a Tuxedo and bow tie!
I'm the same way with mine. I use a blue bone sowbelly fairly often so, as difficult as it is, I'm trying to keep the ebony clean. So far so good. Have a good day my friend.

That's a pretty Canoe, GT.
That shield looks really good on there.

I call these SSS knives. Simple Super Slicers. No tackle box, tool box, or glove box should be without one.

Thanks for the compliment, Steve.

Thanks, John. I really like its looks, too, with the wood, shield, satin-finish bolsters. A guy at a gun&knife show once had a table full of them in clamshell packages with the tops cut off so you could pull out each knife and look at the pile side. I probably spent 20 minutes there looking at a couple dozen canoes like that, trying to decide which one I liked most.

Exemplary ebony on your knife and on redsparrow 's knife, too!

As ya guys know I'll use a spacer a lot. Sometimes there's a practical reason. Like having a little bit more of some cool handle material but....its just not quite long enough to fit. Stick in an ironwood spacer and you are good to go:

Thanks GT. Impressive post today yourself. I always appreciated wooden canoes... both nautical and the sharpened ones.
