Sword handle
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
So, here is the back story. No s*, there I was minding my own business when a friend walks up to me carrying a handless old sword, a scabbard in disrepair, and an inadequate amount of supposed African wood I did not recognize.Because we cannot see any marking on the tang, we have no Idea how old the sword actually is.At any rate, he asked me if I could repair the scabbard and make a handle for the sword.So, here is a bit of the process and the final product.
