Frodo, just saw this in FB, and immediately thought of this thread, and couldn't stop laughing! So, did your customer ever get their package?

As a result of a conversation here: https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/93006-leather-burnisher-hasnt-changed , I have a couple of bone folders looking for a new home. Would especially like to see them go to a newbie! PM me if interested, please.

Another one bites the dust:

So, now we can add conspiring to commit espionage to the crimes committed by those who invaded the Capitol: https://www.justsecurity.org/74239/early-edition-january-18-2021/

My first ever effort at leather carving was on a rounder that had fallen off a saddle. I carved a 4-leaf clover into it, and it looked really nice, considering the home-made tools I had, made out of nail heads and scraps of metal!

I have no doubt if they'd been able to get their hands on Pence, Pelosi or Alexandria Cortez, they would have lynched them. The crowd was chanting "Hang Pence! Hang Pence!"

And now, as a result of this discussion, I just had a package delivered to me with no fewer that FOUR bone burnishers/creasers in it! My sincere thanks to my Tolkien fellowship friend, Elengil! Anyone need a couple of folders? It will take me more than a lifetime to wear these out, so might as well pay it forward!

U.S. Capitol government members could face serious charges, as it appears a number of them led tours of the Capitol the day before the riots. Those taking part in the tour were 'casing' the building, and took part in the following day's invasion. Also, during the riot, republican represantative Lauren Boebert tweeted Nancy Pelosi's location to the rioters, thus putting her life in danger. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/14/lawmakers-capitol-attackers-legal-459519

This is from Reuters, the news bureau that sets the standard for accuracy of reporting, and lack of bias: U.S. says Capitol rioters meant to 'capture and assassinate' officials Chaney, aka Jake Angelis is the guy that was wearing the horns and had his face painted. He's a real nutjob, by anyone's standards...

81 million people voted for Biden, 74 million voted for Trump. Glad to see you now accept that Trump did indeed lose...

Blue lives don't matter to this crowd! The officer was very fortunate to survive! Click on the link to see the video. For some reason, it didn't copy over. https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/features/producers-picks/dc-police-officer-capitol-riot-american-flag-capitol-police-response/65-713578e6-cd96-45f2-870c-1b30253ef692?fbclid=IwAR3wohX7w3u1My2FU2MXgWvct0T-jMkgj-ryll4LPs1QsGDOKiR5JRQrmpc

I recognized the Paladin chess knight immediately. Old enough to remember the TV show... Very nice work!

Oh dear... Teen Outs Her MAGA Mom Who Got Punched In Face Outside US Capitol Frodo, I'm not really getting the point you're trying to make. The Capitol Hill invasion got violent. A woman was crushed to death, a police officer killed after being beaten with a fire extinguisher, and another woman was shot to death. Some of the BLM protests got violent, though some of them were quite peaceful. I don't approve of violent protest. I also don't approve of the MAGA marchers mostly getting off scot-free, while several years ago a Black man was arrested for kneeling to pray in the Capitol building. https://news.yahoo.com/rev-raphael-warnock-once-arrested-233700158.html Now, that's a double standard, if I ever saw one.

Thanks, Toxo. I actually have a cutting board I use, but I'm not exactly sure what it's made of, as I either retired it from my kitchen, or found it when I moved into a new house. I forget which! It's your standard white kitchen cutting board. I assume it's likely HDPE.
