That would be great.....I am in the process of doing a 'how to' with wooden cored scabbards.....the idea being pictures and narrative in a step by step guide. Once posted I was hoping for extra input and ideas etc ..which could be added to give a comprehensive guide.
The same concept for leather sheaths would be fantastic. I am quite prepared to create another 'how to' if you can provide all the information.

If anyone has info on the repair etc of weapons or references to their construction (ie hilt making, decorative technigues etc but not the forging process itself), I would be very interested.
