As always Tai , it looks great. Then again you could make a turd look good.
Did you stabilize it somehow ? __________________ American Bladesmiths Society Apprentice Smith Work Smarter Not Harder www.OliverKnives.com |

Thanks Dwane.
I reinforced the open end with brass tubing on the inside, filled it with epoxy and waxed it. The gourd itself is pretty stable stuff and tends not to crack. It's high quality gourd, same kind as they use for cups, bowls, musical instruments etc. |

I'm thinkin' an oosic handled bowie with a polished coprolite cabachon on the end would look great. Need some sort of turd pattern Damascus I guess.
