I would have gone with a thinner profile a bit. My first Bowie was a coffin handle Natchez Bowie. But it wasn't any great knife, as a matter of fact I still have it. LOL Never ht it and it was 3/16 O1. I ought to find it and take a pic. It was too slim, yours is a bit too thick, or clunky, shave off about 3/16 off the top. The false edge is a bit short for the length, could of been a little longer. You got the guard down pat, but what is that spacer material between the guard and wood? Aah maybe the double edge is ok on third look, maybe just needs to be pointed up a tad bit more. Hope I haven't devastated your Bowie knife aspirations Tex, but I've seen bigger and clunkier from veteran knife makers so it's all a matter of taste. As I said, not bad for a first try.
