Reclining Lion Bowie
I've built several reproduction Bowies from Norm Flayderman's book and this is my latest. My inspiration (George Woodhead) had an etched blade where I gave this one a hamon instead. The blade is W2 & the hilt is MOP with N/S fittings. The sheath is a traditional leather over wood with N/S throat & tip.
Let me know what you think. Gary __________________ Gary ABS,CKCA, ABKA,KGA Last edited by Gary Mulkey; 07-16-2013 at 06:05 PM. |

I'm a huge fan of Woodhead's bowies... you have really captured the essence with that one. Well done sir.

What is the plate coming down from the lion? I've never seen that on an English Bowie.
