 |
|
Hello myArmoury community,
I don't get around to posting nearly as often as I would like, as I've got this side gig making scabbard's that is keeping me busy 
Anyway, I'd like to share this one, as it turned out to be a neat piece.
This scabbard features a double-belt suspension, a hand rubbed antique coloring process, and physical aging of the leather.

Nice work, as usual. I was wondering what had happened to you and almost PMed you a couple times; glad to see you're still in business.

Thank's everyone. It was a pleasure making this one.
The business has been booming, so much so that I've had less time to post, and perhaps a bit of laying low to slow the flow.

Booming business is good news and I'm glad for you and it's a good sign for the sword business as well I guess: Not much demand for swordless scabbards although your work is so nice it would be almost tempting to get a scabbard of yours for a sword one doesn't have.  
You can easily give up your freedom. You have to fight hard to get it back!

A work of art Brian Great work as always.
Though the pen is mightier than the sword,
the sword speaks louder and stronger at any given moment.

Doooohhhh, this one doesn't do it for me, BK. Your skill continues
to impress. I'd never quibble about that, but I can't see the sword for
the scabbard, if you follow ...
Oh Sinnerman, where you gonna run to ?
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to ?
Where you gonna run to ?
All along dem day ...

It was truly commissioned for a pittance. His work is really under valued and should be 3x as much for the skill and customer service he provides is A+. That's my tritonia and scabbard, I gave brian a loose set of parameters to follow and gave him artistic license and I'm VERY happy on how it turned out. I will most certainly come back for repeat business down the road. He is truly an artist and a gentleman I can't stress how much of a good guy he is.

Thank's everyone, and especially Jonathon. It's always a pleasure when someone allow's me artistic liberty, and an even greater reward when the customer loves it.
On a side note, the Tritonia is really a nicely balanced sword with a fantastic static POB when held motionless. If anyone is pondering a Tritonia, it's one of those sword's that impresses in person. A truly powerful sword.
Initially I wasn't all that interested in the Tritonia based on the pictures, but after receiving Jonathon's I've since become quite fond of it.
