Scabbard project for Viking sword with bridge and baldric.
Here is my latest project built for an Albion SL Clontarf.

Poplar core, sandwich method, planks planed down to a fairly thin cross section
Wool felt lined
Stitched and glued
Chape (harvested from an H/T viking scabbard)
Bridge carved from a piece of maple, finished with mineral oil buffed in
Baldric is a piece of 9-10 oz leather, finished with oil and a top coat.









Excellent work, Bryan. Not over-the-top, which unfortunately is all too common.
Thanks for the pics.

Jon

Nice work Bryan. As Jon said, not over the top.
Raisers, seam, bridge, straps...everything is done with obvious care and a steady hand. Well done Bryan, the results speak for themselves.

I would not hesitate to rewrap the sword with a matching grip color though, a good opportunity to add raisers and cord inprints too.

PS: please get a bucle worthy of this fine scabbard :)

:D ...I know..I know...

Thanks all for the kind words.

I think I made my first scabbard about 8-9 months ago, and have since made 5 more. I enjoy it quite a lot.
