Sword Making Tutorial Make Your Own Gladius
#15
Ave Rick,

Good Doctors yes and, my wife has kept an eagle eye on me to make sure I follow doctors orders Big Grin .

Not to put the cart before the horse but, I do have a scabbard question.
I've been gathering my info and, materials for my Krefeld spatha and, learned the scabbard was oak. Don't know if I need to put anything between the oak and blade to prevent the wood from affecting the blade?

Any bone carving tips from such a long tradition of working with it will be most welcome. I've got a couple of things I'm going to try and, will be able to use some tips.


Take care, Dave.
Dave Akers.
