i have some big steel. what to make?

[hodgescl]

I have 2 pieces of 1095 high carbon, both 2x 18x .25"

I have made a couple bowies out of the same stock that I showed on here a while back. I might work on a bowie for one of them but I want to try somthing different for one of them. Unfortunatly all I have are tools for stock removal.

any ideas and pictures welcome.

Very Respectfully,
Hodges

No Doubt James, with alternating clear and smoke plexi laminated together, "Plexicarta"... I'm trademarking that right there.... :thumbup:

In all seriousness, all the ideas mentioned would be cool and each has legions of fans. You can find more examples of each on this forum alone than you could shake a, well, a big honkin' knife at.

Stock up on belts though, that's a lot of steel to be grinding away.
