Hello Anthony,
Select a section of wood that is showing some grain (and any chatoyance if present): Take close-ups in full sun or very bright light (flash might do depending on the setup) of all 3 parts of the scabbard as well as the hilt. Make sure the pics are sharp and have good resolution!
There might be some packed grain on the hilt - possibly burlwood or otherwise "stressed" sections of timber...
Regards,
Kai
