Ordered two lengths, believe 42", any word and when these will ship out?

Thanks in advance.

Did you order them just now? or when?

1 1/2" shaved sticks would literally make my life WAYYYY easier, but I don't want to give my money to HH Perkins- I want to give it to my pals.

New shipment coming in. I might have the 1.5" shaved at Baron Wars.

Wow...

Ordered a stick of the 1 1/4 flated on 5/5 it shows up today 5/10.

I use 1 1/2 ish sticks.When my Lovely lady saw the stick she just laughed,No-one is going to let you hit them with that( which changes what?).
This stick is a beast,yet feels just a touch heaveir in the hand than what I use already.This without a proper shaped handle (yet).

I think I'm going to like this a lot.

You may well find even less difference in weight & balance after you hilt it. But you will need to pay attention to your blow force, since there is less flex in the rattan, a little more force is imparted to your opponent.

[GunnarUlfson]

Needed to order a couple of your 2" thrusting tips so I ordered a 36" one of these bad boys to try it out.

[Baron Eirik]

Saw the order this morning (last night was fighter practice). Should go out tomorrow.

Thanks!

[GunnarUlfson]

Thanks! Your turn around time is awesome!

[Baron Eirik]

It keeps me from procrastinating and forgetting

Both of which I am prone to doing.

Yes,I don't think there will be any real weight/balance diff at all once the sword is finished.

As for shot force,I tend to be a little light at our current levels (still good just a little light),bottom to mid good should become mid good to perfect.I will keep an eye on it though.

[Baron Eirik]

On the other side, there is almost no such thing as 'a little flat'. If your edge hits a little bit (like 10-15 degrees) off from true, it will have a tendency to roll the rest of the way to completely flat. Blade orientation is a LOT more important.

[Vitus von Atzinger]

Remember to run a palm sander over the sharp edges.

I'll also have 24, 30, 48, 60 and 72 inch lengths available within the week.

Do you have any 48" blanks in stock?
I want to make a bastard sword and did not see them listed on the website.
If so what is the price?
What would S&H to 38002 be?

Thank You,
Amalric

I bought a 72" length of this at AE War Practice. I cannot WAIT to make a pole-axe out of it. The thing's going to hit like a truck. In the hands of someone who actually had a clue what he's doing, it'd hit like a nuclear explosion.

For anyone who's never dealt with Baron Eirik before, worry not - the man is out-freakin-standing. Top marks, that man!

Pip pip,

Bob

I'm getting more big rattan in today and taking some out for planing. I'll be sure to get a couple 48" blanks made. It will probably be Tuesday night when I get them back, I'll list'em then. I try to take things down when I'm out of stock of an item.

Thank you for your quick reply.
I will check with you next week about one.

Well, the introductory price isn't available any more (once I actually did the math I had to take the price up, sorry), but I have some in stock.

Did you have the 48" blanks yet?
Thanks

Oops. I forgot to post about those!

Yes.

48 Inch Flat-Sided Rattan Sword Blank

Looks like shipping to you would be a tad over $7.

Are you going to be at Border Raids? I will catch you there if you are. If not, let me know the next thing you are attending.

[audax]

I gonna get a polearm blank, and cut it into a matching greatsword/dagger set. That will be hellacool.

[aidanhroarsson]

shipped to 32817?

[aidanhroarsson]

72" shipped to 32817?

[Baron Eirik]

Yep. I'll be there for the Saturday only.

[Baron Eirik]

72" shipped to 32817?

About $14. Both UPS and USPS seem prejudiced against long, skinny packages.

[Amalric von Regensburg]

I got my 48" flat sided rattan today and can't wait to make it into a sword!
Service was excellent.
The thrusting tips are swell as well.
Thank You Baron Eirik

[Squire Felix]

How much for a 36 and a 72 shipped to 97206?

[sha-ul]

here's an odd question, do you have any rattan in the 6'-7 1/2' length range that are octagon in shape?

Not currently. But I've talked about it with the guy doing the planing.

[Baron Eirik]

One ping only, Vasili

[Halfdan]

Have you done a thread on your rattan wasters? Saw them at Border Raids and thought them quite pimp.
