Hi people.

I did a search but over 3000 entries came up, so I am hoping that someone might be able to point me in the general direction.

I have just purchased an Albion Clontarf and I would like to attempt to make a scabbard. I have a nice plank of poplar that should make a nice core, but I am intrigued by the fleece lining and various other aspects of the construction.

Are there any tutorial type links that I can read?

THanks for your patience.

Cheers

Jason

I used to have a PDF on it, but I have since lost it (someone screwed up my other PC). I've given it to many others here, though.

This might help

or even this

Lining is traditionally done from sheepskin( many people believe that sheep hair grease has a positive effect on the forged blades)
I just got a sheepskin for $25 from http://www.eleatherworks.com/home.php?cat=587
more then enough for a one longsword scabbard lining maybe even two.
