i know the basics, just like to look over some web pages, see pictures, learn from others mistakes etc. the sword it's for is a paul binns wheel pommel/straight guard. reenactment blade. type x i believe, 1066 era.
I don't know how much help I can be, but can you narrow the feild of what you are trying to do? Build a scabbard from scratch? Plain or very historical? The Albion site has a number of lovely scabbards on it, which we can er..... try to reverse engineer on a budget.
My scabbards are mostly just leather sheaths I slapped togeather....
The hard part seems to be the wood working from my perspective. Do you need help there, or are you looking for post woodworking design ideas?To abandon your shield is the basest of crimes. - --Tacitus on Germania
