owen bush 289 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Here is my latest finished sword,I have been trying to make more swords! The sword is by me and the scabbard is by Tod. Off on hols for a week and then into a couple of very intensive Teaching months....so unlikly to be much new stuff from me for a little while....although I do still have a few things nearly finished! The blade is patternwelded in a romanoceltic pattern with lines running up the middle and a 200 layer edge that is welded at the tip. The handle is made from boxwood and the guard and pommel are walnut with brass fittings (and a couple of copper rivets on the peening block.) ] The scabbard is brass and decorated pewter over a poplar core and has been made by Tod from Tod’s Stuff. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Dougherty 1,228 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Another amazing piece Owen, but you can't go on holiday! You have been providing so much top notch sword and knife porn lately that I am addicted. I already feel my hands starting to shake... Link to post Share on other sites

Collin Miller 137 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Beautiful work! I'm not much of a gladius guy, but the craftsmanship is obviously top shelf. It's great that you're doing more sword, too. Link to post Share on other sites
