Hey guys, long time member, though I don't post too often. I mostly stick to the marketplace. Some of you all may know me from some of the Facebook groups, but I'm trying to make an effort to be more active on here. To that end, I thought I'd share some of the scabbard and belt work I've been doing over the last couple of years.

The first link is to my most recent (and I think my best) work, a scabbard and belt I made for a recently acquired Arms & Armor Henry V. The scabbard has a felt-lined wood core, and is snug enough that I can hold the sword upside down and it won't fall out, but still draws smoothly and easily.

The second link is to a folder with some of the other pieces I've done. For some of these I simply rewrapped the existing scabbard, some I redid the grip as well, some I made everything besides the blade/guard/pommel from scratch.

I haven’t. But I’d love to try the style of seax scabbard that has a piece of brass along the spine, with rings. That would be fun to try.

Thanks! Yeah, my next step is going to be exploring more carving and tooling, working with paints, etc.
