Who can build a hilt, grip, and pommel for a Fulham - Tiberius - 06-28-2006
I need someone skilled in the art of hilt, grip, and pommel making to finish a Mark Morrow Fulham type gladius blade. I am up to my eyeballs in hamata projects and stripping, tinning, and reassembling my balteus. On top of that, I'll be out of the US for a couple of weeks! If you can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Name your price.

I do those Jeff- below is one I made for a Morrow blade last summer. The pommel and guard are black walnut, the guard plate (not shown) is 0.032" brass (recessed). The grip shown is real old-stock ivory, supplied by the blade's owner, but I usually prefer to use maple or another light-colored hardwood as it allows for nice, deep finger grooves and a snug fit. Bone is certainly possible too. Drop me an email or PM if you're interested.
