I have a wip on my site. I am just going to link to the site if you would like to see it. I am not sure if this is a violation of protocol, if it is, I apologize and feel free to remove this post.

Anyways here it is.


BTW, I called it a tutorial, but I prefer a WIP because I am no where near where I should be to be offering tutorials.

Thanks Sam, but it is pretty meager compared to the stuff you are forging out.
 
Wow Matt. Awesome! Maybe one day my Bailey collection will have a bowie. ;)
 
Looks good Matt! What is the OAL, it looks like a BEAST.
 
I wish I was your father-in-law ;).

I love the texture that you get on the flats of your blades. you just make them better than anyone I have ever seen.
 
Thanks everyone. I am sure this is not the best way to do it, but it works for me, although I am always refining my techniques.

By the way, Sam... I have been watching that integral sword and the tomahawk WIP you have been doing, and...holy crap, you make nice stuff.
 
I added a little of me making a new style sheath...at least for me. Let me know what you think.
