I've had this white smooth bone Rough Rider canoe for quite a while, but it went to visitr8shell in Austin and came back on Wednesday with a whole new look!
The pile side is decorated in the fashion of a Native American canoe using a very pleasing triangle/circle pattern:

The mark side is an amazing "lakescape" that synthesizes a number of scenes I sent Rachel from the place on Lake Huron where we've gone for vacation for almost 30 years. She also included a canoeist very much like the blade etch on a Case canoe, and if you look very closely, you'll see that the canoe is decorated in the fashion of the pile side of my knife!

Thanks so much, Rachel!

I've always liked those Dan Burke Queens. Congrats!
Beautiful Snakewood on a handy little pattern. I also enjoy the Oak leaf shield.
Nice one, Ed.Well, here it is. Charlie's latest SFO - "Real Lambfoot Knife". The build is exdellent with no glitches what so ever and the ebony covers are very dark and even.
Since this knife is an old English pattern built by an American manufacturer I partnered it with a British Crown coin.

I'm generally not crazy about scrimshaw, but that came out very nice.
The secret to detail work is magnification.I bet you are honored, Gary, as well you should be! That is amazing work!r8shell must have some good eyes to be able to carry that out. Love the old school canoe decoration. I recognized it right away. Thanks for showing it!
