imgur.com/gallery/U145UUAI bought the sword from outfit4events.com www.outfit4events.com/eur/product/10194-sword-lichtenauer-de-luxe/I don't have more than the two pictures right now of it but I take more later when I get a chance. This is my first wood core scabbard made from poplar I bought from Lowes. I used a bandsaw to cut the halves to shape. A 4x36 inch belt sander was used to hollow out the wood core. At the top of the sander where the roller is I ran the underside of the wood long wise carefully allowing the Sanders belt along the roller to sand away a semi circle into the wood. This greatly cut down on the amount of time to shape the inside and the finer areas toward the chape were chiseled and rasped by hand. The sword was a blunt stage sword and I sharpened it. They had the blunt version in stock at the time and I didn't want to wait three months or more for a sharp version. I also redid the grip with leather over cord and made the rain guard. I plan on making more scabbard like this in the future. It is not line the interior. Back is sewn and glued.

Thanks Curtis, I plan on making more scabbards using this method. I also will try and post pictures of how I use my belt sander to save time to hollow out the core. It sounds ridiculous but it does cut back a lot on time. I have a Del Tin type XIX and a Wulfund messer that need poplar core scabbards that I plan on building by the end of this month. It's not the first rain guard I made on a sword but all the other ones that I created are on swords I sold. I missed it and saw that Pavel Moc on outfit4events and knew what I wanted to do.
