.... well, very soon that is.
Many will recall Bruce's terrific OKCA bowie that won the lucrative and presitigious 2009 Bladeforums Best Bowie award. For those that don't, the thread can be seen here:

Well, I had been on Bruce's list for a version of his Marshall bowie, but when I first laid eyes on the OKCA piece I sent Bruce a quick e-mail letting him know that I wanted to make a change.
Bruce is now most of the way through my version of that OKCA bowie - a bit smaller and leaner - but every bit as beautiful. Bruce has detailed the construction in one of the best WIP threads I have seen, and if you enjoy such threads as much as I do, you will want to take a look here:

What follows is a series of photos that are a mere sampling from that superb thread, but still show where he started, where he's at, and a couple of steps in between.
