Title: I Used The Bone Scales I Got in June
Post by: PetahW on August 07, 2017, 03:36:54 PM

In June, I crafted a handle for a Green River Hunter, passing on the bone scales supplied with the GR blade.

Last week, I spotted a 10" Bowie blade that I liked, and decided to utilize the bone scales I had on hand.

I won't go through the handle crafting steps again, but here's how it's going (I still have some minor finishing to do).

I'm thinking of adding a 4" brass or copper spline (like below) to the top/rear of the blade (aka: Bowie fighter), but haven't made up my mind yet.

That looks really nice! I think you got something there regardless if you add the spline or not. Fantastic work!!!  :hairy
