Ebony Bowie

Very well done and a nice handle/pommel treatment too as well as a nicely done guard. A nice work of art. Congrats.

Looks fantastic, how did you find working the ebony for the handle?

Grinds, sands, and polishes fine, but it's very chippy when sawing or drilling. I found it near impossible to carve and did all the texturing and the recess for the butt plate with dental burrs in my dremmel. I have the utmost respect for craftsmen that can cut checkering into this stuff.
