I am Not ashamed I will Seek help from my fellow Members here to help me with this project, I can carve in Bone very well as well as Fit and Finish. However, I will be seeking help to pull this off to Honor my brother as well my Mom and Dad to make a blade and Sheath worthy of the Honor of my brother's Service in the Military and his Very Young Life. I have a 1 1/4 Thick X1 1/4 Thick X 8 inch Billet made .(If Needed it will need to be Hammered into a Usable Billet/Blade) I am looking to make a Bowie style Coffin Handle So the blade can be engraved with Boomers full name, Military Service Emblem, and Dates If there a few Bladesmiths, leather working, and Engravers that can help me out please post here & /or pm me to help me out .

I have some small (<1/2") actual meteorites and you could mount them in the pommel. These are basically round so you would have to make a pommel design to accommodate it. Let me know if I can help. ...Teddy
