Here is my latest project built for an Albion SL Clontarf. As always click the print view top right for full size pics.

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.

Interests - Amateur scabbard maker, sword modifier
and dabbler in sword builds and rebuilds.

All of those colors really go well together, it all looks real solid, and that sword is beautiful. That scabbard and baldric are more than worthy of that blade.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT
