Blade Show Bowie Build,
Ok Crew: It's time for part 2 of our Blade Show trilogy of builds. I have been waiting for an order to come in so that I could show you a couple of good examples of Bowies, made from wood out of The Captain;s "STASH". They are different in options somewhat but may help to guide us along...or not??
I will attach a couple of photos of each of these Bowies..."BUT"...(Wow: 1st "but" and we're only on paragraph #2!)...you may or may not use any of these ideas. As always, I'll guide you along during this build but the ultimate decisions as to what we build will be yours!
Thanks to all of you, in advance, for your participation...and PLEASE: If you have any ideas, questions, photos...share them with us!
Thanks, Capt. Chris

The 14/18 style hilt, with 14 style finger grips is a good fit with 12/9-#14 grind. The 12/9 looks great How ever it is dressed.

We have already voted on the #12-9" &, at least for this build, that's what we will concentrate on.
Thanks, Capt. Chris
