Now there’s a woodworking project! Looks like you’re doing a pretty good job of reproducing a Japanese scabbard.

I hate the lost scabbard scenario. I’m always coming across naked blades for sale, with no scabbards. There’s a lot I can do with leather and other materials to make a sheath or full scabbard for old bayonets and western swords, but the all wood construction of a Japanese blade is something I haven’t tried before.

Here’s a child’s talwar from India that I made a scabbard for:

It’s constructed from wood and red suede. :blsmoke:
