A good start... to the puzzle. I've always loved restoration works. I find it interesting... intimately knowing the pieces.

Alam, I'm agree with you, but I hope that the final result is at least worth of all the work...

Anyway I've polished the surface: some of the cracks already to this point are visible just a little

Here we go! The restoration on this part of the scabbard is finished! Shirlak (thank you Marco

) and wax. Also the blade is well cleaned now.

Very nice work Flavio!

Oh, the wood used for the sampir is actually quite good. Pity that it shattered into so many pieces. I wonder if it was because of the limitation in the wood that the carver had to orientate it in such a way that the grains run through the sampir rather than along the sampir.
