Ironwood and Damascus Bowie
« on: February 24, 2009, 08:22:00 PM »
I recently finished this Bowie with a 9 1/2 inch blade of my damascus. The guard is made of alternating layers of Stainless and Silicon Bronze and the wood is Desert Ironwood.

Awesome package!  Stunning material and design!  All of your work is beautiful, but is designed with comfort in mind and begs to be used!

Lin; that is a very beautiful piece of work, I believe ol' Col. James Bowie and his maker James Black would like to come back to life just to hold that knife. Thanks for sharing Rod

Karl, no. It's a knife I made  for the Arkansas show a couple weeks ago. Just did not have time to get it photographed before the show. Here is a picture of the handle a little closer up. The Ironwood is some of my best yet. Lin
