Filework Fleur de lis?
« on: August 30, 2011, 04:03:00 PM »
Has anyone seen fleur de lis filework?  It seems like I'd need a fairly beefy spine to get it to look good.

I bet you can do it. The tricky part would be to get the height and width proportional. Here's a cross I did on the spine for my hunting buddy's knife.
   


You could always do an inlay in the wood handle or on the butt of the handle. I did this one on a bow I built.

I actually have that cross picked out for the knives I'm doing for my brothers.  I'll likely use it on my wife's chef knife as well.  After looking at the blade, I don't think the spine is going to be wide enough to get a fleur de lis to look good.  The inlay idea is nice tho...  hmm...
