Got some examples of sword cases, boxes, or bow cases? In turkish or eastern flavors, of course. I may just try something out. You might want to do a google search on "gorytos" to get some inspiration in the realm of bow cases. These are older than what you are thinking of, but I believe ...

What to do with leather

So I have got a nice sized piece of thick leather, approx 1/4 inch thick thru most of it. It's about 48 in. by 30 in. and do not really know I should make from it. If it helps, I am working on a late 15th century Turkish combat kit. I would imagine this lether may be put to good use for sole leather...

Not to steal trade secrets, but I would like to ask you where you acquired those lovely handles. I believe they look like part of the draft horse tack.



I am preparing to make a sabre with the curved handle and resverse for the blade.
