After that can you make a Xena sword? Then hold on to it til i have $$ lol (btw Starlust is here - I have to clean the house so I can do a review ) SWEET!!!! I expect you'll want to play with your new baby before shipping her off for a scabbard, but whenever you're ready... I'll be here. Oh, and I can't WAIT to see what this turns out as, Brenno. I'm loving your work more and more these days. -Slayer

Brenno...its a beaut, but I have to admit, I think I liked the original drawing a wee bit better. As for the Maeve...yea, I'll have to draw her up so you can see what I mean.

Out of curiosity here's a comparo of how it finished up compared to the detailed second sketch I did. It had already beefed up by then. The first sketch shows it slimmer. The final sculptures changed slightly again. a. the brass guard wasn't able to be bent as much as first planned, so that shallowed out the W shape. b. I kept buggering up the face of the peak of the pommel where it has to fluch against the nut, and ended up shortening it 5mm more than I wanted. c. I decided to lengthen the grip, for the larger pawed. d. Just practicalities change things I guess. Like the grip became narrower as that was the maximum width or my lace sheoak pieces. And the shape of the wheels on my beltdander only allows so much. All good fun but. I'm still very happy with it. The balance and handling on it are absolutely insane. There is perfect blade presence while feeling light as half a sword. It's magik. There will be more wood hilted x metal swords so they will evolve too.
