Thanks so much guys, I'm sure that has answered all, and any future questions. I should have updates soon once I get some more time and resources.
I plan on getting a different hardwood tomorrow to test out.
I will make a mixture of hardwood sawdust and glue and use that to fill in any gaps if the movement in my text piece occurs ( any objections?)
And I am already making the brass parts for the scabbard. I really need to get some AFFORDABLE ( like $7 SQ foot) of veggie leather ( 2-3 OZ?) before I get too advanced with the brass fittings, as that can add a few mm to the scabbard diameter.
Thanks for everyone's help! I learned a lot from my first sword, but I am still learning so please bear with me,
Regards,
Samuel.
P.S. Tony, I kinda learned from your idea about drawing the line...please don't be mad :whistle:
