I had this pic posted over on the Gallery before the server crash. I thought ya'll might want to try this with osage sometime. On this Bowie I scorched the osage with a torch and it really accented the grain and added alot of color.

The Bowie is 16.5 overall with an 11" blade and is 3/8" thick at the ricasso. The ferrule is octoganal and the fittings are nickel silver.

That's an awesome Bowie Greg!!! :eek:

As my lifer Army buddy says, "I could cut my way through walls of human flesh with a knife like that............" :D
 
Nice bowie, Greg!

I've done that scorching technique while making furniture, but never tried it on a knife!
 
I agree, that's a great knife! I have used a lot of osage, but never considered scorching it. I do, now!
 
That is one sexy, wicked bowie ya built there! All buisness for sure. In keeping with the Bagwell gig, I might have given it a curled double guard, but the channeled one you built does look sharp. I'd love to feel it, but I'm afraid I'd just want to lop a head or skewer someone!

Get off! That is one total knife. I really like the heavy spine, like the "old" knives, and the length of that one just makes it fit to scale perfectly. I wouldn't have thought to scortch the Osage, thanks for the tip. It really did bring out the figure. I like the octagonal shape of the handle too. That's a knife any bandito would be proud to carry! :cool:
