tsterling Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Been working with this for a few weeks, my first attempt at a tsuba (Japanese sword guard). Since it is a pendant, I made it about 1/4 the size of a full scale tsuba. Carved of shibuichi (25% silver, 75% copper) with a fine silver backing, Argentium silver jump ring and chain, 2 inches tall (5 cms). Thanks for looking!

Kevin Colwell Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I am in general agreement. That looks to be a great job to me. for whatever its worth, I like it a lot. kc please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth.
