Thanks Lee and Lee , The "pretzel" motif is moulded under the leather using AB epoxy sculpt. The circles are pressed into the leather(sockets).

Thanks Man, the tips you gave me at the Bladeshow realy helped,(esp. Seigals leather).I REALY appreciate what real scabbard makers do now more than ever.Every step, from hollowing out the wooded core to dying the leather was a Bee...otch. Oddly both scabbards were dyed Mahogany...one in an air conditioned room, the other outdoors in 90 degree heat (humid).???

Nice job James! Sometime I'm going to start scabbards for my Vinland and Landgraf.
What's so special about Seigal's leather?

Nicely done! Where did you get the inspiration for the decoration/shape of the scabbards?

Thanks for the quick reply James :) .
One thing that has puzzled me recently is where one would find resources for period accurate scabbards (especially from the migration era). This is mostly because I am considering an Albion Migration D once I get settled as a graduation gift to me :D :D . And custom scabbards are understandably pricey.
Once again, Nice job james.
