Work begins on a new Bowie

[pappy]

Have a member request to build a Bowie for a friend of his getting married this is what I have so far. The Damascus has 250 layers, silver soldered the tang after shaping the blank and now working on the brass guard and pommel. Going to make an old style sheath riveted together. By the time I am finished it should be around 15" long. Oh forgot i picked up a new toy too...a Devil Forge....for heat treating the blanks

Very nice profile on that blade.  I love that raindrop Damascus too.
