Thanks Doglegg. That's a polite way of saying I know how to run off at the mouth, right? ::rotflol::

Thanks for the kind words, fellows.

QS - the covers on that Bulldog are white. That is what the person I bought it from said, and that is what I say!

Great photo, Charlie. What is that flower blooming in the background?

Ivoryman - that is some nice old bone on the Keen Kutter. Old bone and old steel with a patina like that is hard to beat.

Thanks Mel. I'm not sure what those little flowers are. My neighbor, who does a lot of gardening, calls them Blue Bells. They grow wild all around here every spring.

Great shots Paul! ::clapping::

Looks similar to my kit back when I was doing the Buckskinning/Rendezvous thing. Had a lot of fun with that. ::tu::

If you love frontiersmen, primitive skills, and reading you should check out The Book of Buckskinning series from Muzzleloader Magazine (I have volumes 1 through 5, there may be more). They contain a great deal of "how to" information on primitive skills used to live and trade on the frontier. I think you'll enjoy them.

That's one nice Canoe. The more I see yours, the more I think I need to hunt one down (maybe for my "significant years" collection).

Thanks Dan.

It's a large canoe (or gunboat) lock back, 4 1/2" closed. I found this one on ebay.

I didn't notice it was a lock back until you pointed it out. Very cool!

That's a great photo. I'll have to see if I can do something similar when my new mug arrives.
