Spring Turkey Sightings

Lucas Forge Posted on by

In years past, seeing a wild turkey has been a very rare experience around our place.

This year, it’s been different!

Earlier in the spring, two just came walking up on the other side of the fence and after one of them, a tom, had peered at the house rather curiously for a time, they must have decided they had better things to do, and took off at a steady trot.

Then, not long ago, a hen found her way right up in the yard as she moved through.

It’s exciting to see the population gaining a hold once again. Now all that’s left to do is wait and polish up our calling skills for the future…

Pictures…

Here is a picture that I snapped of my current everyday carry knife. It is a Jack Pine Special with a curly maple handle. I have been carrying it for some time now. It has performed very well through a wide range of different tasks.

I now have a phone that takes pretty bad pictures, but lets me upload them easily to the desktop, so watch out for more amateur pictures!

Here is a bonus, it is a snapshot of our English Cocker Spaniel, named Belle. She is a great little dog, with lots of energy and affection for her people. You will probably see more of her later. Here she is hunting something, and moving quickly!

 

Thanks for looking!

Take care,

Lucas

Howdy!

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you are all well and that 2014 has been a good year for you so far. I have been staying busy with custom orders and want to let all of you know that I am steadily working down the order list. I had intended to post a New Year post closer to the new year, but this is as close as I got. I am planning to bring back the Monthly Special in the near future, and will try to keep you updated as to when that will be. Thank you all for your support, it really means a lot to me.

Take care,

Lucas

Horizontal Sheath, Custom Sheath, Custom Leatherwork, Lucas Forge

I thought I’d post this picture of the horizontal sheath design that is available with custom knives –  the Packer model, to name one. This style of sheath is useful for everyday wear and especially for those who ride horses, bikes, or motorcycles. It has a snap-closure and is handcrafted in the shop. Thank you for looking!
