It would (if I lived there) impact every seax I have made except one, and a few of the polearms. I asked on Facebook: Could some kind of addendum/modification be made for ultra-short weapons?

Foxknife Wide Weapons in Meridies
For those of you that haven't heard, an email is going around that the Kingdom of Meridies has banned "extra thick" rattan weapons over two inches in width or thickness unless they are padded on the striking surface. 90% (or more) of the rattan wasters that I have produced are still legal in Meridie...

Re: 2" rattan in Meridies
Most Choppas I have seen were made from 1.75" rattan with shaved sides and foam on the back of the blade to make them visually impressive. Does this rule mean that the foam backing will need to be chopped down? I don't expect to see either the shaped swords or Baron Eirik's new shaped pole arms affe...

Re: Over sized Great sword cross auction. Hessen Iron proto
In general, drilling holes in rattan is a bad idea. Crosshilts, in general, move in two directions: they spin and they slide down onto the handle. For spin, the best solution is non-round mountings. That works quite well. For sliding down the handle, I've looked at some gadgets like rubber anti-ratt...

Re: Hessen iron 2 side ring crosses on hand.
Both.
Stefan used to make them round except on request, but I strongly prefer oblong so most of those that he has sent to me for marketing on my website are oblong. He can, of course, make them either way.

Re: Over sized Great sword cross auction. Hessen Iron proto
One would start with slightly larger than minimum diameter rattan and shave the sides.
Or they could start with a lot thicker than minimum diameter and get fancy.

Third attempt is looking the best.
I contacted Darkwood and got some new taping forks, so they will match as well. I got some Windrose taping forks as well, but they won't work for the Hessen pommel.

Looks good. Not at all what I imagined when you first described it to me. When it comes time to replace that stick another option you might want to consider is sticking it in some kind of vice and hammering a brass dowel through the place where the rattan goes first. The goal is to push out the meta...
