So a customer sent us a Bronze age style sword and provided us with some images to use for inspiration.
He wanted scabbard that was wood core and wrapped in leather with a special bridge on the backside of the scabbard. He provided us with decorative elements to use in the design.

This is a Clip Art representation of the sword he sent.

This image shows how the "Bridge" is on the backside of the scabbard and has a double brass ring with which to attach a belt.

These photos show the style of art that he wanted us to use in the decorative elements.

Here is a shot of the Sword he sent.

Sonny,
That is really an inspired work. What is even more amazing is that you made those fittings yourself! That is a home well worthy of Neil’s Carp Tongue.

Since each work you do seems better than the one before, I can’t wait to see project #2

Regards to All
Robert
