Every once in a while somebody just wants a big Bowie.

This is for a Buffalo Bill Cody type guy. It's going to get a turquoise, desert ironwood, cholla handle treatment.
Here it is forged to shape.

Out of all the different Bowie styles that one in paticular makes me think of the deep south ..

Now that is “forging to shape”.

Maybe we will get some fancy hamons.

The handle components rough cut to fit. Nickle silver, desert ironwood, cholla and turquoise.

You take everything simple and just muck it up!!

Damn, Mark you got my attention on this one! Holly cow the handle components alone are fantastic so far. Can't wait to see this one when done! You know I don't think I would have thought of something like you are doing with this one. I like the way you mind works! Fitting the turquoise to the cholla is a feat in itself!

In case some are not familiar with Marks work. I have been following him for years. His handles are in themselves a masterpiece. Here is a shot of another masterpice that he had posted on another forum years ago!

So if you think I am out of line poking fun at Mark. I am just honoring the master himself!!



Mark you are da man!!

I'm excited to see this one!
