Stag Horn Bowie
Here is a large bowie I just finished. 11 1/2 inches total, 8 inch blade. It's forged from 5160, differentially heat treated, with brass and copper accents. I embedded an old Canadian copper penny in the pommel, and made the same for the sheath. I got the antler from a local hunter. The curve in it feels surprisingly good in the hand. Hope you like it.

kvistads,
I took a square of brass and drilled a hole in the center, almost all the way through, the same size as the nut which is threaded onto the back of the tang. I rounded the nut off to just fit into the hole and brazed it into the hole. This allowed me to insert a bolt and use it as a center to mount it in the lathe. I turned the square round, and cut in the depression for the penny. I soldered the penny in place, then fastened the pommel to the horn. I filed the horn to match the pommel, then sanded and polished. Since the antler is curved, I had to put a hinge into the tang to follow the curve. A trick I learned from J. Neilson. Really neat! __________________ Chris K. Two Mountains Forge Delta, BC, Canada www.twomountainsforge.com
