Help me pick a GEC bone color for my next project.

OK, trying to pick two bone colors for my next project. Given that you don't know the pattern, and I am not narrowing down a jigging pattern; give me your choices of those listed. If you want to write one in, that is fine.

Seems like there has been alot of the darker bone lately, I like the Rust Red, but voted for Nautural as we don't
see it very often from them.

Mike, I went with the natural option because it always seems to be a great choice for a knife handle.

The antique yellow on the 56 clip blade dogleg I didn't care for, but on the 53 in your pic it's pretty nice IMO. Natural also appeals to me. Best of luck with your project. Looking forward to seeing what you've got cooked up. ::nod::

Of these I like the Copperhead the best but the Antique Yellow on the #53 and the Dark Chestnut are also very attractive.

… Bass - that's the kind of thing that makes this stuff interesting - I really liked the Antique Yellow on the original 56 doglegs (thought I do like the version in Mike's sample above better!)

Mike, looking forward to what comes out of the "lab"!
