Small Bowie

[lwrhea]

This small bowie was discribed to be over the phone and I think it turned out pretty well. The blade is 7 1/4 in with an OAL of 12 inches and is 5160H. The handle is stabilized Maple Burl dyed green. Thanks, Lin

Sorry about the fingerprint

Thanks

Like the file work.

It really turned out nice Lin

I meant to ask on the other forum, how many hours do you have into that filework!?!?!?

That's a slick piece Lin - I like the file-worked guard and pommel, but I'm not stuck on the fileworked spine - just personal preference. Keep these beauties coming!

Another maker who's work is giving me pause. Nice work, Lin. I'm a sucker for that rope filework.

Thanks guys. For me a little filework goes a long way, but the customer wanted it in those areas. It turned out fine and whats better is , he likes it.

Nick, it does'nt take as long for rope filework as you might think. But you do have to keep plugging and it'll get done. I have about 2 hours in the filework, if I had to guess. What I do have to do is plan a little at what stage to do it. For instance, its better to file the spine before you grind the clip, so it will blend better. Thanks again, Lin

Very nice the way the filework on the spine continues on the guard.
