A Curly Maple & Bloodwood Bowie

[TK Steingass]

Greetings Fellas:

The client wanted curly maple with inlays for his bowie so this is what I came up with......I selected stabilized bloodwood as the inlay material. The handle was hand-rubbed to 2500 grit and waxed rather than buffed to bring out the amber color and figure in the curly maple. All comments welcome.

V/R,
