Ive done a little more. Bolster and pommel will be made from an old wrought iron horseshoe.

Cant decide what handle to put on it though.

Ive got loads of oak on my firewood stores or loads of leather scraps. Hmmmm decisions decisions

41 pieces of scrap leather cut

Glued up curing

Rough shaped at 40g
