Bear hair arrived. Will use some in the sheath later. I will have a little bit of shop time this weekend. Goal will be to get the knife glued up, but that’s a tough climb. Still have to finish polishing, do the fit shape and polish on the guard, and do whatever I am going to do on the handle design.

Progress today. Guard roughed in and shaping started. Then I moved to handle fitting and shaping. Nothing at all square or even symmetrical about a recurve bow riser!
Fred Bear knife project video #7 shows the handle preparation and development. One goal is to retain as many original markings as possible.

A bit of final fit work, then polish everything. Then HT the guard and re-polish. Then etch all the damascus, after final polish. Also lack the Bear medallion over the fastener on the butt. There’s a corby there now holding it all together, that’ll get buried under the Bear.
Goal is still to get it glued up tomorrow. Maybe, maybe not.
