couldn't wait,

Will52100 · Feb 24, 2002

I'm not finished, still have to finish the frame handle, but I cant' wait. Things haven't been going to smoothly lately, and although it's not finished I feel like jumping up and down and dancing a jig."finaly somethings going right!"

Frontier damascus blade, wrought iron gaurd and handle frame, cow bone handle. Now I just got to get some more nickle silver pin stock.

Close up of the pattern,

Great Bowie, Will! I'd be jumping a jig too, that is beautiful. I sure like the long blades, your handle is just the right size and shape as far as I'm concerned. Zowie, thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys, I'm almost finished, I found some nickle silver pin stock, it's amazing what you find when you clean your bench off. Now if I can just find the power hammer that I know is hidding there!

I don't know what it is, but every thing went great today, even got started on anouther billit of damascus.

Bruce E. has definatly influnenced my work. Before I got a chance to see his bowie's up close and handle them, I was constantly trying to re-invent the bowie knife. I owe Bruce a big thanks for showing me how there done.

AWESOME BOWIE!!!!!!!!
Gee I didn't think you guys loved me that much.

She sure does look great all the way around..The plain colored bone looks great on Bowies also..
Now what kind of sheath...Metal perhaps ??

I am working on my Tutorial for the metal sheath now,It willtake a couple of days but I will have it as I have all the pictures and am in the proces of re sizing them ..

ALL RIGHT BRUCE!!!!

I've been waiting for you to do the metal sheaths. Don't get me wrong guys. I've gotten something from almost everyone here. Some people like Bruce Bump, I've gotten a lot. It's just something about Bruce E's Bowies that I love. I even learned to swiss cheese knives from Tom Mayo. They do tend to whistle when I throw them but they sure are light.
