This is one of the things that is probably open to quite a bit of debate. I have just used a friction fit on all of mine, but glue would be a feasible option. I have also toyed around with the idea of other fastening methods, such as little hook like projections. I don't think the latter idea is very historical, and I think it will be less than effective, too (will likely tear the leather).

I believe some use small tacks/rivets to secure the locket and cape to the wood core.
There used to be a Chistian Fletcher tutorial on making a Gladius scabbard where he used this method, but I can't seem to locate it.
