Title: New Years Bowie
Post by: sticshooter on December 31, 2008, 03:53:00 PM

Well i had off today and a half day yesterday. So I wanted to finish a Bowie I started. this is what i ended up with. Blade is L6(sawmill blade steel) 1/4" thick and 8.5" long oal is13.25". handle is IPE with two veneer burl spacers with wenge tucked in between and aged moose antler upfront. I like this one.thanks and happy New Year.<>< BTW Those numbers on the blade are from the sawblade...I really think,thats cool. I know it's weird LOL
