Leather chape for viking scabbard
Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:23 am
Greetings,
I am trying my hand at my first wood core scabbard and I am shocked that it is not looking too terrible.
This is a Norse type of sword, and I am considering a linen cover, or perhaps a hair-on cover for the core.
At any rate, I want to make a leather chape for the cover, but I cannot visualize the patterm for such a chape or how to attach it.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
