"Bowie Knives???

A rectangle of steel can become a lot of things....Sherry decided to make her grandsons and boys in her family each his own knife from her pieces...She cut these out on a band saw...A friend of hers used an end mill to put the edge on the knives...using polishing stones and emery paper she has cleaned and sanded all the imperfections out...She has worked on these for the last month instead of her UFO...giggle...but she will catch up I am sure...all that's needed is the deer antlers for handles....and these young men will have a treasure that would have Jim Bowie green with envy........The Ol'Blogger
Update the finished knives will all look like this one...Sherry used Deer Antlers for her handles..
She rubbed on these for two months till they were up to her standard of perfection...giggle...
