I'm thinking of making a new scabbard for my Irish dagger over the summer, since I'm informed that the waterproof wood glue I used on the first one is likely the reason the blade edges kept rusting. In the meanwhile, I'd like some critique of the chape I assembled for the first one. Does it look okay or is it too cheesy? And if it's not passable, can I fabricate one at home that is, or does an early-style bronze chape really need to be cast?

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

Well, I'm tough, rough, ready and I'm able
To pick myself up from under this table...
