I'm thinking linen. Wish I had a burn't orange..but went with what was on hand.herbva wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 11:07 am Beautiful work Doc! That red canvas micarta (or is it linen ?) really pops on that knife and the longhorn shield is very cool. I don't think there are too many knives out there with a shield on each side. One of my dogs actually eats those things (the cicada, not the knife) and actually puts on a few pounds as a result around this time of year. Yuk.
My dog that eats them actually hunts for them all day long with his nose on the ground. I think he prefers the nice fresh ones just as they emerge from the ground. Maybe they are less crunchy then and a little bit squishy?Doc B wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 11:14 amI'm thinking linen.

Dogs are funny! They eat a lot of stuff and I can't imagine putting that thing in my mouth and crunching it up
My guy just layed there and looked at it for awhile.
My dogs don’t seem to have much interest in cicadas but the cats love them. They can’t resist something that moves and buzzes!Doc B wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 11:14 amI'm thinking linen.

But they’re not the only thing that likes cicadas! https://www.wideopencountry.com/texas-y ... pperheads/ Mumbleypeg wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 2:58 pm
Being as I have both the B.S and the M.S. I can tell you my wife would agree whole heartedly with your definitions (especially as it relates to me).
We have our share of copperheads here. And they’re known to be very cantankerous too!Mumbleypeg wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 6:37 pm It is freaky to have that many, but not uncommon for copperheads to be after emerging cicadas. Lots of articles documenting it can be found, and even several YouTube videos. We do have copperheads here. According to the range map so do you. I’m lucky to be in the “hybrid zone” - we get to have them all.
Sorry to have ran your thread completely off the rails.

I had a brilliant professor in college who was educated in Korea as the son of a Confucian a scholar. He became a Christian sometime after the Korean War and came to the US to go to college. He arrived with I believe it was $3 and change in his pocket on the campus of Northwest Christian College in Eugene Oregon. Four years later he graduated with a Bachelors Degree Biblical Studies and a Masters Degree in Political Science from the University of Oregon. He worked and paid for his schooling and got to degrees in those 4 years, and I think he got married to. He went from there to Dropsy University of Hebrew and Cognate Learning (a Jewish seminary) where he earned a PhD in Rabbinical Studies. He was the 1st non-Occidental person to earn a PhD as a rabbi from that university, not to mention the fact that he wasn't Jewish, either religiously or racially. He returned to Northwest Christian College although he had numerous offers for very prestigious and high paying positions. He said NCC treated me fairly I will teach there. By the time I studied under him in the nineteen seventies he had added several more earned PhD's and several honorary PhD's. He spoke 7 languages fluently plus New Testament Greek and Old Testament Hebrew. I know he taught Hebrew and he may have taught Greek at one time as well. I think he retired in the early nineties, and incredibly brilliant professor, I took him fishing one time and you would've thought he had never had so much fun. Neat guy!Colonel26 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 7:02 pmBeing as I have both the B.S and the M.S. I can tell you my wife would agree whole heartedly with your definitions (especially as it relates to me).
But one of my AG teachers in high school had the beat definition of a PhD I’ve ever heard. “Someone who’s learned more and more about less and less until they finally know nothing at all.” Rofl
