Beech bowie
« on: February 02, 2015, 05:31:00 PM »
I have been working on (and correcting mistakes) on this one for a month and really happy that I was able to complete it. It is a W2 blade, .200 thick at the spine,  416 guard, copper spacer and pin.  I had planned on using a pear handle, but I ruined the piece during the process and ended up using a plain old piece of stabilized beech for my second attempt.  

Had a good natural light box yesterday with 6 inches of snow on the ground and an overcast sky and thus was able to take some half way decent pictures.

How do you wear it on your swim suit?
