One point that my Knight made about pole-arm hafts: For the longest time, I always sought out the straightest possible pieces of rattan for pole-arm hafts. Then my Knight explained something to me. Use a slightly curved piece for a pole-arm haft. Align the blade such that when you relax your grip, ...

Ya know, it so damned cool for a newbie metal pounder like me that I'm almost embarassed to say what it was... but I will. It was an honest-to-god full sized ball stake. EASILY worth $40 on its own.

I'll just note that doing that is against the rules in the SCA. Sir Gavin, I've never done this, but does linseed oil hinder the flexability of the rattan, or another factor I'm not considering? Niall Mor, When I put thrusting tips on my swords (not often), I will use an 8" piece of nylon stra...

Or, it could become the "Golden Age" of WMA. Some of it might be a fear that all the skeletons the SCA has in it's closet will be exposed in the media blitz as a WMA "Bruce Lee" is found. And when the SCA isn't "the only game in town", it will become much more difficul...

Several years ago I got mine from him. It was a fantastic work of art. I also got my wife one of the swivel seals. Again, it was fabulous.

It would be sad to see such work be lost. I hope he is still around.
