It took a while to think out how to approach the construction,but a good few hours thought and many a cups of tea later, I hope its a good copy
Again going away so I might not finish the full scabbard it will be another week before it will be finished
so I hope you like so far.

Totally AWESOME Tony!!!
I was thinking of using a router for my Parazonium scabbard (my current project) and sandwiching two sheets of 1/4 inch aspen together but, your way might be neater and actually a better way to go.
You're setting the bar rather high on sword making ya know!!! Too cool! 8)
I have to go back and really touch up my Parazonium handle now just to keep pace with you!!! (but, I think I'm still about a mile behind!!!)
BTW: what are you using on the handle of your sword to finish them off/protect them?
Vale!

Thanks Magnvs for the complement :oops: its what I like to mess around with, making something from nothing
Antonivs thanks also :oops: to answer your point,for the moment I have put a light coating of lacquer on, I still thinking of final finish of the 10 swords.I might use leather on some handles, wood for others I can easily remove the coating,I use it just to keep the wood clean since they get well handled.Thanks again
