OK Crew,
(Thanks Warren)...It's time to wrap this Big Bowie up! Brass hardware, it is! A brass double hilt is standard on a Thorp, either lugged or forward curved. We can include brass spacers (black with it will work best with this piece of walnut, I think) and a brass butt cap is also doable. Let's decide just how and what we're doing with all that brass!
Let's here about your ideas!
Thanks, Capt. Chris
